An easy Filipino one-pot dish; marinate the chicken in the same pot that you cook it in.
Chicken Adobo
Servings
5 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 to 5 chicken leg quarters divided into thighs and drumsticks
- 6 to 8 cloves of garlic smashed
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce or an additional tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
Instructions
- In a large skillet or pot, mix all ingredients and allow the chicken marinate for 30 minutes, up to overnight. Do not discard the marinade.
- Bring chicken in marinade to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, lower the heat slightly and cook, covered, for about 15 minutes. Remove the cover. Flip the chicken pieces and continue to simmer, uncovered, to reduce the sauce, lowering the heat if necessary. After about 8 minutes, flip the chicken again. Add water as needed if the sauce is too thick or too salty.
- Continue to simmer until chicken is fully cooked and has released its oils into the sauce, and the sauce has thickened slightly and taken on a rich, dark brown color. Serve over jasmine rice.
Great one-pot meal! Everyone LOVED it, a sweet-tangy recipe that is amazing over some basmati rice, read my full review to find out the one thing that didn’t quite come out (http://www.joyofkosher.com/2015/09/chicken-adobo–review/)
This was very easy. I didn’t have regular vinegar so I used Rice wine. Was a hit with my super picky family
This was incredibly easy and came out very good, but I would add a little more spice or something next time.
