Delicious Chicken Adobo Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• Steamed rice (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, brown sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Sear chicken pieces until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Pour the marinade over the browned chicken in the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
4. Remove the lid and let the sauce reduce for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If desired, add more vinegar or sugar based on your preference for tanginess or sweetness.
6. Serve the chicken adobo over steamed rice, garnished with chopped green onions.
