Method
Preparing the Chicken
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Ensure the chicken is fully coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for the best flavor.
- 2
Sear the Chicken
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear the chicken pieces, skin-side down, until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for another 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Simmer
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Reduce Sauce
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the lid and let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken slightly.

Serve
On a large plate, serve a generous portion of cooked white rice topped with the chicken adobo. Garnish with chopped green onions and sliced hard-boiled eggs on the side. Enjoy!
