Chicken adobo instructions
- Mix everything.
- Marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Boil for 5 minutes.
- Simmer in low heat for 20 minutes, while turning chicken to cook evenly every 5 minutes. When sauce is almost dry. Turn off heat and serve with warm rice.
- (Optional) Can fry lightly fry the chicken before cooking with the marinate.
Keep in mind the strong acidic punch will tone down as the sauce simmers. Soy sauce - standard soy sauce or low-sodium soy sauce can be used based on personal preference. I prefer half of each or just low-sodium or it's too salty for me. Chicken Thighs - Chicken thighs and chicken legs are the two best cuts of chicken to use in this Filipino dish, be sure to use bone in and skin on. I do not recommend using chicken breasts in this recipe.
