Best 7 Adobo Wet Rub Recipes

ADOBO-RUBBED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in heavy, medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 3 minutes longer. Add the chiles and cook until darkened on both sides, about 1 minute. Add the broth and bring to boil. Continue boiling until the chiles are soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to blender and puree. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a grill or large grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, rub the adobo mixture all over the chicken, using about half of the adobo. Sear the chicken, breast-side down, until grill marks appear, about 6 minutes. Brush some adobo sauce on the other side of the chicken. Turn the chicken breast-side up, place in a baking pan and transfer to the oven. Cook the chicken, basting with the extra adobo sauce every 20 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers an inner temperature of 165 degrees F, about 40 minutes. Serve with corn tortillas to prepare tacos and lime wedges.

ADOBO MOJADO - WET RUB FOR MEATS AND POULTRY

• Stir in the olive oil and vinegar.
• Slather on chicken, steak, chops, etc. then refrigerate for at least an hour. Grill or bake as you prefer.

RED CHILE PASTE (MEXICAN ADOBO)

Steps:

• Roast and Soak the Chiles
• Cut or tear the chiles into flat pieces and remove the seeds and veins. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and roast the chiles on both sides until they begin to release their aroma and soften up a bit, about 1 minute.
• Transfer to a blender and fill with boiling water. Allow the chiles to soak for 30 minutes, making sure to keep them submerged under water. (You may need to wedge the blender top into the opening to help keep the chiles under water.)
• Roast the Garlic
• Return the same skillet used to toast the chiles to the stove and place over medium heat. Add the garlic and roast, turning often, until the skin blackens and the garlic begins to smell toasty, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and peel. Set aside.
• Puree the Mixture
• Pour the water out of the blender jar, leaving behind the rehydrated chiles. Add the garlic along with cinnamon, bay leaf, cumin, pepper, oregano, salt, and vinegar and puree until smooth. (You may need to pulse and scrape down the mixture a few times to get the puree started.)
• Serve or Store
• Transfer to a serving bowl if using right away, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate if storing.
• COOKING NOTES
• INGREDIENTS
• Handling Chiles
• If you have sensitive hands, you may want to wear rubber gloves when handling chiles. If you chose to work with them with bare hands, make sure to wash your hands well before touching your eyes or other sensitive skin.
• TECHNIQUES
• Roasting Chiles
• Although you may not think it makes a difference, dry roasting or toasting dried chiles before rehydrating them adds an incredible richness to their flavor. However, you must be careful not to burn them, which will result in an undesirable bitter flavor.
• Since the chiles are dark, you cannot rely on their color to tell you if they are ready. Instead pay attention to their aroma and texture. As soon as they begin to release their scent and become soft and pliable, they are ready.
• ADVANCE PREPARATION
• This paste can be made well in advance and kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It keeps almost indefinitely.
