Time 2h57m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup white wine vinegar
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup light brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, crushed
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 dried bay leaves
12 chicken drumsticks
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons arrowroot
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 large limes)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • For the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a 9-by-13-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the chicken over halfway through.
  • Place the chicken and marinade in a large, high-sided skillet or Dutch oven and add the chicken broth. Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 to 50 minutes, turning the chicken every 20 minutes, until cooked through and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the liquid and arrange on a serving platter. Discard the bay leaves and garlic cloves. Whisk the arrowroot and lime juice into the liquid and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the sauce over the chicken or serve alongside as a dipping sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro, if using, and garnish with lime wedges.

CHICKEN ADOBO



Chicken Adobo image

It is the national dish of the Philippines, and the subject of intense and delicious debate across its 7,100 islands whether made with chicken, pork or fish. Whichever, the protein is braised in vinegar until pungent and rich, sweet and sour and salty at once, then sometimes crisped at the edges in high heat, and always served with the remaining sauce. Its excellence derives from the balance of its flavors, in the alchemy of the process. Cooking softens the acidity of the vinegar, which then combines with the flavor of the meat to enhance it. Whether consumed in Manila's heat or on the edge of a New York winter, adobo holds the power to change moods and alter dining habits. It is a difficult dish to cook just once. The recipe that follows derives from one given to The Times in 2011 by Amy Besa, who runs, with her husband, Romy Dorotan, the excellent Purple Yam restaurant in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn.

Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup coconut milk
¼ cup soy sauce
1½ cup rice vinegar
12 garlic cloves, peeled
3 whole bird's-eye chilies or other fiery chili
3 bay leaves
1½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 pounds chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large, nonreactive bowl or resealable plastic freezer bag. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
  • Place chicken and marinade in a large lidded pot or Dutch oven over high heat and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender, around 30 minutes.
  • Heat broiler. Transfer chicken pieces to a large bowl, raise heat under the pot to medium-high, and reduce the sauce until it achieves almost the consistency of cream, about 10 minutes. Remove bay leaves and chilies.
  • Place chicken pieces on a roasting pan and place under broiler for 5 to 7 minutes, until they begin to caramelize. Remove, turn chicken, baste with sauce and repeat, 3 to 5 minutes more. Return chicken to sauce and cook for a few minutes more, then place on a platter and drizzle heavily with sauce.

CHICKEN ADOBO



Chicken Adobo image

This delicious recipe for the classic Filipino dish Chicken Adobo comes from chef and author Romy Dorotan of Purple Yam.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups unseasonsed rice or sugar cane vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup coconut milk
12 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
3 bay leaves
1/2 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, crushed
One (3 to 3 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 6 serving pieces
%%component_recipe_title%%
Steamed jasmine rice, for serving (optional)
3 fresh red or green Bird's-eye chiles (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, soy sauce, coconut milk, garlic, bay leaves, chiles, and peppercorns. Add chicken; marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Arrange chicken in a clay pot or Dutch-oven. Pour marinade over chicken, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat broiler. Remove chicken from pot, and place on a baking sheet or broiler pan. Place under broiler until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, continue to cook the remaining liquid in the pot until it reaches a creamy consistency. Transfer chicken to a serving platter, and top with reduced sauce. Serve with mustard greens and rice, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks are the best choices for chicken adobo. They have more flavor and stay moist during cooking.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is the key ingredient in chicken adobo, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Simmer the chicken until it is fall-off-the-bone tender: The chicken adobo should be simmered until the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Serve with rice: Chicken adobo is traditionally served with rice. It can also be served with other sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken adobo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. With its simple ingredients and bold flavor, chicken adobo is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
