EASIEST CHICKEN ADOBO



Easiest Chicken Adobo image

For adobo that's sweet, salty, tangy, garlicky, and ready in a fraction of the time, don't peel and slice each garlic clove: Just cut open a whole head and simmer it in the sauce.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
4 chicken drumsticks
1 head of garlic, halved crosswise
5 dried bay leaves
3/4 cup distilled white vinegar
3/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp. light or dark brown sugar
2 green chiles (such as serrano or jalapeño), thinly sliced, seeds removed if desired, divided
Freshly ground black pepper
Cooked rice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium. Cook chicken, thighs skin side down, lifting pieces with tongs once or twice toward the end to let fat flow underneath and turning drumsticks as needed to brown both sides, until skin is crisp and golden brown, 7-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and turn thighs skin side up.
  • Add garlic, bay leaves, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and half of chiles to same pot. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved; season generously with pepper.
  • Return chicken to pot; arrange skin side up. Cover and cook gently, adjusting heat to maintain a bare simmer and turning pieces halfway through, until chicken is very tender and meat is pulling away from bones but not falling apart, 35-40 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a clean plate. Bring braising liquid to a boil over medium-high and cook, stirring often, until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; return chicken to pot, turning to coat in sauce.
  • Serve chicken over rice topped with remaining chile and more pepper.

Tips:

  • Always use a quality cut of chicken for the best flavor. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are a great option.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of spices to your liking. If you like it spicy, add more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of spices.
  • Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful.
  • When cooking the chicken, be sure to cook it over medium-high heat so that the skin gets crispy and the inside cooks through.
  • Serve the chicken with a side of rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
