Method

For the Adobo Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt. Add the chicken drummies and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare for Frying

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

For the Fish Sauce Preserved Cucumbers

  1. 4

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine fish sauce, sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 5

    Preserve the Cucumbers

    Place sliced cucumbers in a jar and pour the fish sauce mixture over them. Add sliced red chili. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
