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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces for the best flavor and texture.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the adobo sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, will help to infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Do not overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but still juicy.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Hawaiian chicken adobo is traditionally served with rice, but it can also be served with other sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
