Steps:
- Put the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, peppercorns, red pepper, garlic, bay leaves and 1/2 cup water in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Close and shake to combine the ingredients and dissolve the sugar.
- Open the bag, add the chicken and reseal; shake to distribute the marinade around the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Adjust an oven rack to the top position and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Pour everything from the bag into a large Dutch oven or pot and arrange the chicken in a single layer. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, adjust the heat to low and cook, turning the drumsticks occasionally, until the chicken is tender and registers 165 degrees F in the deepest part of the leg, 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover the pot and transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
- Increase the heat and bring the remaining liquid in the pot to a boil. Cook until reduced and just slightly thinner than maple syrup, 7 to 9 minutes. Strain the sauce and discard the solids.
- Meanwhile, broil the chicken until browned in spots, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a shallow bowl and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve with rice.

CHICKEN ADOBO
This is a traditional Filipino dish. I found it in Mark Bittman's cookbook, "How to Cook Everything." I actually forgot to include the 1 cup of water, but it still turned out great! I think the water would be useful to make more sauce, though. I highly recommend this dish!

CHICKEN ADOBO
This is a common Filipino dish. It is usually served as a side dish with a big plate of rice. The adobo is added to the rice, mixed in and eaten, traditionally, this is a finger food or is eaten with a large spoon. It can be made with pork or chicken. It is marinated in a vinegar sauce from 10 minutes for quick adobo to at least 2-8 hours for a richer flavor. It can be simmered until the liquid evaporates. I have chosen to do a more Portuguese style of browning the chicken after simmering and reducing the sauce.

Steps:
- Place the cut up chicken pieces in a bag or container to marinate with the garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, vinegar, soy sauce, 1/2 cup hot water and optional salt. 1 tsp sugar or 1/2 tsp honey can be added optionally. It will help cut the bitterness from the soy sauce. Marinate at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Place the chicken and marinade in a non reactive pot (stainless steel, glass, or acryllic). Add water to almost cover the meat.
- Turn on heat to high and bring to a boil. Turn down heat to a simmer. Skim off any scum that rises to the top.
- Simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes. Chicken should be tender but not falling apart.
- Heat 1/4 inch of oil a frying pan until it is hot. Use a tong and take out chicken pieces and pat on a paper towel to dry off marinade. Saute chicken pieces in hot oil until browned. It will only take a few minutes on each side. Remove the browned pieces and set aside in serving bowl.
- Reduce remaining marinade until it is thickened. For a thicker sauce combine 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/4 cup water. Stir to dissolve, and add to sauce. Continue to cook until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Spoon sauce over chicken pieces. Serve hot with rice.

Tips:
- Use a good quality soy sauce: A good soy sauce will make all the difference in the flavor of your chicken adobo. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a rich, umami flavor.
- Don't be afraid to add a little spice: Chicken adobo is traditionally a savory dish, but you can add a little spice to it if you like. Some common spices that are used in chicken adobo include garlic, onion, black pepper, and chili peppers.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Serve the chicken with rice: Rice is the traditional accompaniment to chicken adobo. It is a great way to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Chicken adobo is a delicious and easy-to-make Filipino dish. It is a great dish for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, chicken adobo is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
