What is Filipino Chicken Adobo?
Chicken Adobo is a delicious dish where chicken is braised in a marinade made of soy sauce, black pepper, bay leaves and vinegar. This easy version takes a few shortcuts but delivers the same punchy flavor and super tender braised chicken.
Ingredients
Chicken thighs. Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Drumsticks or chicken legs can be used as substitute. Chicken breast can be used in a pinch but won’t deliver the same succulent, tender result as chicken thighs would. Vinegar. I used white vinegar. Rice vinegar will also be delicious. Soy sauce. You can use Tamari or Coconut Aminos if you are gluten free. Low sodium soy sauce can also be used. Brown sugar. Garlic. Black pepper. Bay leaves. Chillies. I used green Serenade chillies but Thai/Bird’s eye chillies or jalapeños can be used instead. Salt and pepper. Rice, to serve. Greens, to serve.
