| Chicken Adobo |
| Chicken adobo is a very easy dish to make, and it is considered by some to be the national dish of the Philippine Islands. |
|
3 lbs chicken thighs, cut into chunks ½ cup white vinegar ½ cup soy sauce 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper 1 tablespoon brown sugar 2 crushed garlic cloves 3 bay leaves ½ teaspoon salt |
|
Put the vinegar, soy sauce, pepper, sugar, salt, and garlic cloves in a blender. Chop until the garlic is well divided. Pour some of the blended liquid into a pan, add the chicken chunks and bay leaves, then add the rest of the liquid and cover the pan. Let the chicken marinate for 1-3 hours. Then heat on high until the marinade begins to boil. Lower the heat and simmer (covered) for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and simmer for another 15 minutes. (Stop if/when most of the liquid has already evaporated.) Serve over white rice. |
