This is a very tasty and easy-to-make Filipino chicken dish made with soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar. I can just as easily double or triple the chicken in this recipe to serve guests at a party. Serve over rice with just a little of the sauce (not too much).

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
10 guajillo chiles, stemmed, seeded, deveined and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 3 1/2- to 4-pound whole chicken, backbone removed, flattened slightly
12 corn tortillas
Lime wedges, avocado slices and fresh cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in medium heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 3 minutes longer. Add the chiles and cook until darkened on both sides, about 1 minute. Add the broth, bring to a boil and boil until the chiles are soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender, add the vinegar and 1 tablespoon water, let cool slightly and puree. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a grill or large grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Meanwhile, rub about half of the adobo mixture all over the chicken. Sear the chicken breast-side down until grill marks appear, about 6 minutes. Brush some adobo sauce on the other side of the chicken. Turn the grill down to medium and set one side of the grill to indirect heat (see Cook's Note for instructions for the grill pan). Turn the chicken breast-side up, place over the indirect heat side of the grill and cover. Cook the chicken, basting with the extra adobo sauce every 20 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers an inner temperature of 165 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Serve with corn tortillas, lime wedges, avocado and cilantro.

Tips for Making Grilled Chicken Adobo:

  • Use a good quality chicken marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to use a marinade that you like. There are many different adobo recipes out there, so feel free to experiment until you find one that you love.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to keep the chicken moist and juicy. If you cook the chicken over too low of heat, it will dry out.
  • Baste the chicken with the marinade while it's cooking: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. You can also brush the chicken with a little bit of olive oil to help prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken adobo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned griller, this recipe is sure to please everyone at your table. So fire up the grill and give it a try!
