FILIPINO "ADOBO"-STYLE CHICKEN



Filipino

An easy Filipino "Adobo"-Style Chicken recipe (Tangy Soy Chicken)

Categories     Chicken     Poultry     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 whole chicken legs (about 4 pounds), cut into drumstick and thigh sections
1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 bay leaves
1/2 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, crushed lightly
3/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
cooked rice as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a large kettle combine the chicken, the vinegar, the garlic, the bay leaves, the peppercorns, and 1 cup water, bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer it, covered, for 20 minutes. Add the soy sauce and simmer the mixture, covered, for 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken with tongs to a plate and boil the liquid for 10 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 1 cup. Let the sauce cool, remove the bay leaves, and skim the fat from the surface.
  • In a large skillet heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the chicken, patted dry, in batches, turning it, for 5 minutes, or until it is browned well. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed platter, pour the sauce, heated, over it, and serve the chicken with the rice.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality soy sauce. This is the main flavoring agent in adobo, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is made from 100% soybeans and has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're browning the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Simmer the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the chicken and allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the chicken with rice. This is the traditional way to serve adobo. You can also serve it with noodles or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Adobo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy, sour, or sweet, there's an adobo recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give adobo a try. You won't be disappointed!
