Chicken Adobo

Great chicken adobo starts with the best soy sauce! We love Coconut Brand soy sauce with extra rich flavour and colour you’ll notice right away.

Serving Size: 4 – 6

Prep time: 30 minutes, cook time 45 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 pounds bone-in chicken thighs (or legs)
• 1/4 cup Coconut Brand soy sauce
• 6 – 8 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
• 1/3 cup white vinegar
• 3 bay leaves
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions:

1. Combine chicken, soy sauce, garlic, peppercorns, vinegar and bay leaves in a glass bowl. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes up to 3 hours.
2. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving liquid.
   Heat oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add chicken including garlic and bay leaves. Cook for a few minutes each side until chicken skin is lightly browned.
3. Return marinade to the skillet with the chicken, bringing to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove lid and simmer until sauce is reduced and the chicken is tender, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Serve with steamed rice.
