- Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken in a bowl with soy sauce and half of the garlic. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Brown the chicken: Heat the oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and brown it on all sides. Set aside.
- Sauté the aromatics: Add the sliced onion and remaining garlic to the same pot. Cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- Simmer: Return the chicken to the pot. Add the reserved marinade, vinegar, water, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil.
- Cook slowly: Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 30–40 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally.
- Finish the sauce: Remove the lid and simmer for another 10–15 minutes until the sauce reduces and becomes rich and flavorful. Add brown sugar if you prefer a slightly sweeter sauce.
- Serve: Spoon the chicken and sauce over freshly cooked white rice. Garnish with green onions if desired.
🌟 Serving Tip
Chicken Adobo tastes even better after resting for a while, allowing the chicken to absorb more of the delicious savory and tangy sauce.
🍚 Serve it hot with plenty of steamed rice and enjoy a true taste of the Philippines! 🇵🇭❤️
