How to make chicken adobo

One way to do it. The same ones the app hands you once you have decided.

Four things and no notes

50 minutes · serves 4 · Very easy

What you need

  • 1kg chicken thighs
  • 120ml cane or white vinegar
  • 120ml soy sauce
  • 1 whole head of garlic
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns

What you do

  1. 1Put everything in a pot cold. No browning, no oil.
  2. 2Bring to a boil and then do not stir for 5 minutes — letting the vinegar cook off its edge before you disturb it is the one rule.
  3. 3Lid off, simmer 30 minutes until the sauce reduces and turns glossy.
  4. 4Lift the chicken out and fry it briefly in its own fat if you want the skin crisp.
  5. 5Reduce the sauce further and pour it back over. Rice underneath.
