COCONUT MILK CHICKEN ADOBO



Coconut Milk Chicken Adobo image

When I left home, adobo was a dish I could cook off the top of my head. The name was bestowed by Spanish colonizers, referring to the use of vinegar and seasonings to preserve meat, but the stew existed long before their arrival. It is always made with vinegar, and often soy sauce, but there are as many adobo recipes as there are Filipino cooks. In this version, coconut - present in three forms: milk, oil and vinegar - brings silkiness and a hint of elegance. Every ingredient announces itself; none are shy. The braised whole peppercorns pop in your mouth.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons coconut oil
15 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns, plus 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks and thighs
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
8 fresh bay leaves
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic, whole peppercorns, freshly ground pepper and red-pepper flakes, drop the temperature to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is toasted and softened and mixture is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook over medium-high, undisturbed, until fat starts to render, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the coconut milk, coconut vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaves and 1 cup water, and let the mixture come to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken feels loosened and just about falling off the bone, stirring halfway through, about 1 hour.
  • Increase the temperature to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened to a velvety gravy, about 15 minutes. Serve chicken and sauce over rice.

Tips:

  • Use quality chicken: Fresh, boneless, and skinless chicken thighs or breasts are ideal for this recipe. If using frozen chicken, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Make sure to marinate the chicken: The marinade helps to infuse the chicken with flavor and tenderize it. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the heat.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Hawaiian chicken adobo is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include rice, noodles, vegetables, and salads.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian chicken adobo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, give Hawaiian chicken adobo a try.
