Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 head garlic, minced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 tsp black peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup soy sauce, 1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, minced garlic, sliced onion, black peppercorns, and bay leaves.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Heat 2 tbsp of cooking oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
- Sear the chicken thighs in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the pot with the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- After 30 minutes, add the pineapple chunks to the pot and continue to simmer, uncovered, for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the Pineapple Chicken Adobo hot over steamed rice, and enjoy!
