Delicious Chicken Adobo recipe!!! The meat falls right off the bone and the marinade is super tasty.
Authentic Filipino (Philippines) Chicken Adobo

Description
You can use chicken or pork or both. I like to use chicken. I prefer dark meat such as thigh or leg. But if you prefer, you can use breast as well. Serve over rice.
Ingredients
- 8 whole Chicken Thighs Or Drumsticks
- _____
- FOR THE MARINADE:
- ⅓ cups Soy Sauce
- ½ cups Vinegar
- ¼ cups Water
- 2 whole Bay Leaves
- ¼ teaspoons Whole Black Peppercorns
- 3 cloves Garlic, Chopped
- ⅛ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Preparation
Mix up the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken to a pot (make sure to use a pot with a lid), pour the marinade over it and marinate for 30 minutes.
Then simmer on medium heat for 30 minutes. Do not open the pot. Once the time is up, open the pot and flip the pieces of chicken over and simmer for another 15 minutes. At this point, check to see how much sauce is remaining. If there is little sauce left, turn the heat down and if there is a lot of sauce left in the pot, remove the lid and let it simmer without the lid on until there is only a little sauce left. In doing this you have to stand next to your stove to watch it or it will burn. Once the sauce is reduced, taste it. Season with salt according to your taste. You can thicken the sauce with 2 tablespoon water and 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch if it needs thickening. Turn the stove off and serve over rice. Leftovers are even better as the flavors have more time to meld. Enjoy!

I have not made Chicken Adobo in years. Reason #1: I really liked the original “authentic” recipe I used back-when but cannot find it. Reason #2: My husband (then boyfriend) said he “hated it” the last and only time I ever made the dish for him. Fast-forward 10-years later. My husband has become more open-minded, less picky, and less of a general wuss about trying new foods. I made this recipe for him tonight. He liked it. He really liked it. He even said, get this, that he’d take the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Incredible. Thanks for the great recipe!

I make this regularly. I use drummettes instead.
