Ingredients

For this finger-licking Chicken Adobo, you’ll need the following ingredients:

2 lbs chicken thighs or drumsticks (skin-on for that extra flavor)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup vinegar (white or cane works great)
1 head of garlic (minced)
1 medium onion (sliced)
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
2-3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, but it balances out the acidity)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons cooking oil for browning
Water as needed

Instructions

Now that we got our ingredients ready, let’s get cooking!

In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, sliced onion, peppercorns, bay leaves, and sugar. Whisk it together and then marinate the chicken in this mix for at least 30 minutes — the longer, the better!
Heat the cooking oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (keep the marinade for later) and, in batches, brown the chicken on all sides. This step locks in those delicious flavors!
Once all the chicken is browned, return everything to the pot. Pour in the reserved marinade and enough water to cover the chicken. Bring it to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through. The sauce will thicken and become rich and savory — trust the process!
Check for seasoning. Adjust it with salt, pepper, or more sugar, depending on your preference. You want that sweet, tangy, umami balance.
Serve your Chicken Adobo hot with fluffy white rice, and don’t forget to drizzle that delicious sauce all over! Enjoy!

This Chicken Adobo recipe is one to keep in your back pocket, trust me! It’s great for meal prep or impressing loved ones. Enjoy the burst of flavors, and until next time, happy cooking!
