The recipes every home cook should know. Ep 3: Filipino Chicken Adobo

– 4 skin-on chicken drumsticks and skin-on bone-in chicken thighs
– 20 or more garlic cloves
– Freshly ground black pepper
– 1 Tbsp black peppercorns
– 3 Tbsp palm sugar (or regular)
– 1.25 cups white vinegar ( I used Datu Puti)
– 1/4 cup dark soy sauce
– 1/2 cup (120ml) soy sauce (I used Silver Swan)
– 4 bay leaves
– Sliced green onions, for garnish
– Cooked white rice for serving

In a large bowl, combine the chicken with garlic, black pepper, peppercorns, palm sugar, white vinegar, dark and regular soy sauce, and water, and bay leaves before marinating for at least two hours or overnight. When ready to cook, sear both sides of the chicken i oven until the skin is browned, then set the meat aside while pouring the reserved marinade into the pot to boil. Reduce the heat to low, nestle the chicken back into the sauce, and simmer covered for 35 minutes; then, flip the pieces and continue cooking for another 30 minutes until tender. Finish by spooning the thickened pan sauce over the chicken and garnishing with green onions to serve alongside rice.

  1. The most important part isn't the chicken, it's getting all the fond off the pan with the leftover sauce and making adobo rice with it!

  2. 100 different recipes, pretty accurate. Even in our family we have a sweet, sour, spicy, one with a lot of sauce, one with thick sauce, one that was fried in oil after, etc etc.
