Adobo Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, white vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.

2

Sauté the Onions

In a large pot or skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

3

Brown the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add it to the pot. Cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes.

4

Simmer

Pour the reserved marinade and water into the pot with the chicken. Add sugar and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

5

Serve

Remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with rice and a side of the sauce.
