Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1 cup chicken broth, sliced onion, minced garlic, bay leaf, and whole peppercorns.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
- Sear the chicken thighs in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high and continue to simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- Serve the chicken with the thickened sauce over steamed rice. Enjoy your delicious Adobo Chicken!
Adobo Chicken is a popular Filipino dish with a rich history dating back to the Spanish colonial era. The dish is known for its savory and tangy flavor, achieved through marinating the chicken in a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and spices. The name "adobo" is derived from the Spanish word for marinade or seasoning. This cooking method was introduced by the Spanish and later adapted by the Filipinos, who added their own local ingredients and cooking techniques. Today, Adobo Chicken is a staple in Filipino cuisine and can be found in homes, street food stalls, and restaurants throughout the Philippines and in Filipino communities worldwide. Notable chefs and restaurants, such as the renowned chef Claude Tayag in Pampanga, have put their own unique spin on the classic Adobo Chicken, elevating it to new culinary heights. For the best version of this dish, look for a balance of vinegar and soy sauce in the marinade, and be sure to simmer the chicken until it's tender and infused with the flavors of the sauce. Some alternative methods for making Adobo Chicken include using coconut milk for a creamy twist or grilling the marinated chicken for a smoky flavor. Whether enjoyed with steamed rice or as a filling for tacos, Adobo Chicken continues to be a beloved dish cherished for its delicious taste and cultural significance.
