There’s nothing better than a delicious chicken adobo recipe to make your taste buds sing! Today, we’re sharing not one, but two fantastic recipes that are sure to become family favorites. So, get ready to put on your chef hats and try out both of these mouth-watering dishes.
First up, we have the easy chicken adobo recipe. This dish is perfect for those who are new to Filipino cuisine or for anyone looking for a quick weeknight meal. To start, you’ll need:
– 1 lb chicken thighs, bone-in
– 1/2 cup soy sauce
– 1/2 cup vinegar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 6 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp black pepper
– 3 bay leaves
– 1/4 cup water
To make the chicken adobo, simply mix all of the ingredients together in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the chicken and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and set it aside. Increase the heat to medium and let the sauce reduce and thicken slightly. Then, return the chicken to the pot and coat it in the thickened sauce. Serve hot with rice and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.
Next, we have the chicken adobo recipe from 4 Hats and Frugal. This recipe has a few extra steps, but we promise it’s worth it! Here’s what you’ll need:
– 4 lbs chicken thighs, bone-in
– 1/2 cup soy sauce
– 1/2 cup vinegar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp black pepper
– 2 bay leaves
– 1 tsp whole peppercorns
– 1 onion, sliced
– 1 tablespoon oil
– 1/2 cup water
To start, heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds. Then, add the chicken and brown it on all sides.
Once the chicken is browned, add the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, black pepper, bay leaves, whole peppercorns, and 1/2 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and set it aside. Increase the heat to medium-high and let the sauce reduce and thicken for 5-10 minutes. Then, return the chicken to the pot and coat it in the thickened sauce.
To plate, place a scoop of rice on each plate and top it with a chicken thigh. Spoon the sauce over the top and serve hot.
