Marinade and Chicken

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, white vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and water. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add to the skillet. Sear the chicken on both sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Pour in the reserved marinade and sprinkle sugar over the top.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaves. Serve the adobo chicken with rice and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
