CHICKEN ADOBO

Chicken Adobo image

It is the national dish of the Philippines, and the subject of intense and delicious debate across its 7,100 islands whether made with chicken, pork or fish. Whichever, the protein is braised in vinegar until pungent and rich, sweet and sour and salty at once, then sometimes crisped at the edges in high heat, and always served with the remaining sauce. Its excellence derives from the balance of its flavors, in the alchemy of the process. Cooking softens the acidity of the vinegar, which then combines with the flavor of the meat to enhance it. Whether consumed in Manila's heat or on the edge of a New York winter, adobo holds the power to change moods and alter dining habits. It is a difficult dish to cook just once. The recipe that follows derives from one given to The Times in 2011 by Amy Besa, who runs, with her husband, Romy Dorotan, the excellent Purple Yam restaurant in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup coconut milk
¼ cup soy sauce
1½ cup rice vinegar
12 garlic cloves, peeled
3 whole bird's-eye chilies or other fiery chili
3 bay leaves
1½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 pounds chicken thighs

Steps:

Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large, nonreactive bowl or resealable plastic freezer bag. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
Place chicken and marinade in a large lidded pot or Dutch oven over high heat and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender, around 30 minutes.
Heat broiler. Transfer chicken pieces to a large bowl, raise heat under the pot to medium-high, and reduce the sauce until it achieves almost the consistency of cream, about 10 minutes. Remove bay leaves and chilies.
Place chicken pieces on a roasting pan and place under broiler for 5 to 7 minutes, until they begin to caramelize. Remove, turn chicken, baste with sauce and repeat, 3 to 5 minutes more. Return chicken to sauce and cook for a few minutes more, then place on a platter and drizzle heavily with sauce.

Tips:

Choose free-range chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
Use a combination of olive oil and butter to fry the chicken, as this will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and will also add flavor.
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken, as this will also cause the chicken to stick together and will not cook evenly.
Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side.
Make sure to use a good quality red wine for the sauce, as this will add depth of flavor to the dish.
Add the olives and capers to the sauce at the end of cooking, as this will help to prevent them from becoming too salty.
Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta, and a side of steamed vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken Dobar is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of chicken, red wine, olives, and capers creates a flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
