Chicken Adobo
Every Filipino household has a slightly different recipe for this everyday stew. Ardie, Philip's nephew, uses lemon juice to brighten his version.
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken parts skin removed
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp black peppercorns
Instructions
- In a large, non-reactive bowl, combine all ingredients. Refrigerate, covered, for 3 hours or up to overnight.
- In a large pot over medium heat, bring chicken mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Continue simmering, uncovered, until sauce thickens and chicken is tender, about 20 minutes.
Notes
Serve with steamed rice or garlic fried rice.
