Chicken Adobo (Filipino-Style)

This hearty meal is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen, and it’s perfect for family gatherings or a cozy dinner at home. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken (thighs and drumsticks work best)
½ cup soy sauce
1 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
½ cup water
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, garlic, and black peppercorns. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is even better for those deep flavors.
Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken (reserve the marinade for later) and brown the pieces on all sides. This step locks in the flavor and makes the chicken delectably crispy.
After the chicken is nice and browned, pour in the marinade along with the vinegar, brown sugar, bay leaves, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked. Stir occasionally and make sure it’s not sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Once done, taste and adjust seasoning if needed; you can add a little more vinegar or soy sauce according to your preference.
Serve the Chicken Adobo hot, garnished with chopped green onions, alongside some steamed rice to soak up that scrumptious sauce!

This Chicken Adobo is a game-changer, full of rich flavors that bring warmth to any meal. So, gather your loved ones, set the table, and enjoy this beautiful dish together!
