Use equal parts vinegar, soy sauce and water. The secret ingredient is cinnamon. This can also be made in the slow cooker: after browning chicken, onion and garlic, transfer to slow cooker, add the rest of the ingredients, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or 4 hours on high.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons canola oil
3 pounds chicken drumsticks and thighs
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 cup water
2 bay leaves
10 whole black peppercorns
1 cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • Heat canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, and pan-fry the chicken drumsticks and thighs until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken pieces, and set aside. Stir onion and garlic into the hot skillet, and cook and stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes.
  • Pour in apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and water; stir in bay leaves, peppercorns, and the cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, scraping up and dissolving any browned flavor bits from the bottom of the pan. Return chicken pieces and any juice that has formed to the pan.
  • Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and simmer until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 45 minutes.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking it for less time next time.

This chicken adobo is a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll use less vinegar next time.
