FILIPINO "ADOBO"-STYLE CHICKEN

Filipino

An easy Filipino "Adobo"-Style Chicken recipe (Tangy Soy Chicken)

Categories Chicken Poultry Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

8 whole chicken legs (about 4 pounds), cut into drumstick and thigh sections
1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 bay leaves
1/2 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, crushed lightly
3/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
cooked rice as an accompaniment

Steps:

In a large kettle combine the chicken, the vinegar, the garlic, the bay leaves, the peppercorns, and 1 cup water, bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer it, covered, for 20 minutes. Add the soy sauce and simmer the mixture, covered, for 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken with tongs to a plate and boil the liquid for 10 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 1 cup. Let the sauce cool, remove the bay leaves, and skim the fat from the surface.
In a large skillet heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the chicken, patted dry, in batches, turning it, for 5 minutes, or until it is browned well. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed platter, pour the sauce, heated, over it, and serve the chicken with the rice.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks are best for adobo, as they will stay moist and flavorful during the cooking process.
Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is one of the main flavoring agents in adobo, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is dark and flavorful, with a slightly sweet taste.
Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings: Adobo is a versatile dish, and the seasonings can be adjusted to your own taste. If you like a more savory flavor, add more soy sauce or fish sauce. If you want a sweeter flavor, add more brown sugar or honey.
Let the adobo marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful. If you have time, you can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours.
Cook the adobo over low heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Simmer the adobo for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve the adobo with rice: Adobo is traditionally served with rice, which helps to soak up the delicious sauce. You can also serve it with other side dishes, such as vegetables or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Adobo is a classic Filipino dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of different cuts of chicken and seasonings. Adobo is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give adobo a try. You won't be disappointed!
