Alright, folks. Get ready to say “yum!”, because I’ve got a couple of seriously tasty chicken adobo recipes for you today. First up is Lamesa’s Chicken Adobo. And let me tell you, this ain’t your grandma’s adobo!
We’re talkin’ succulent chicken in a tangy, vinegary sauce that just won’t quit. And the best part? It’s ridiculously easy to make. So let’s get to it!
First things first, we gotta gather up our ingredients. You’re gonna need:
– 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1 cup soy sauce
– 1 cup white vinegar
– 1 cup water
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 head garlic, peeled and smashed
– 1/2 tsp. black pepper
– 3 bay leaves
Got everything? Good. Now let’s get cookin’!
– In a large pot, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, water, brown sugar, garlic, black pepper, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.
– Add the chicken to the pot and bring everything to a boil.
– Once it’s boiling, lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Cook for about an hour or until the chicken is tender and falls apart easily.
– Serve hot over steamed rice.
Oh man, that’s some good eatin’ right there. But if you’re lookin’ for a slightly different take on chicken adobo, how about tryin’ Manila Spoon’s Slow Cooker Chicken Adobo?
