Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken thighs
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce Low sodium is a great option.
  • 0.5 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced Feel free to add more if you love garlic.
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar This adds a nice sweetness.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute before adding the chicken. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, around 5-7 minutes.
  • Pour in the soy sauce, vinegar, and water, followed by the brown sugar, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Stir well to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and infused with flavor.
  • Once done, serve the Chicken Adobo hot with steamed rice, making sure to spoon some of that delicious sauce over the top.
