Chicken Adobo

This recipe I found on Pinterest, and it looked too good not to share. Here’s what you need:

• 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 head garlic, peeled and smashed
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp whole black peppercorns

Here’s what you do:

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, water, brown sugar, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
2. Remove the chicken from the pot and arrange on a serving platter. Skim off any excess fat from the cooking liquid, and continue to simmer the liquid until it reduces to a thick, syrupy sauce, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Pour the sauce over the chicken, and serve hot with steamed rice or potatoes.

3. Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and keep warm. Turn on the “Saute” function and let the sauce simmer until it thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
