Chicken Adobo is chicken served in a rich, salty to sour sauce. This dish is great with plain or fried rice.

Recipe Time:

Time for Preparation = 15 minutes
Time for Cooking = 40 minutes

Ingredients:

1 chicken, rinsed and cut into pieces
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 tsp whole black pepper
2 slices ginger (optional)
1 bay leaf (optional)
1 spring onion (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Mix the soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, and black pepper. You may add ginger and/ or 1 bay leaf (we Filipinos actually prefer our Chicken Adobo in different ways). Note: most recipes you see online don’t have water in their ingredients, which is a big giveaway that the recipe isn’t 100% Filipino.
  2. Put the above mixture in a pot, together with the cut chicken pieces. Cook at medium fire until the chicken is well done. The water in the mixture helps ensure that your chicken is cooked properly; however, after the chicken is ready, it’s time to get rid of the extra water. So, simmer until there is about a little more than a cup of the mixture left.
  3. Cool and serve. You may garnish with cut spring onions (see picture above).

This Chicken Adobo recipe is a guaranteed hit! We suggest that you serve Chicken Adobo as a rice topping – dee-lish! Chicken Adobo is one of the many great Filipino recipes you should taste if you want to try authentic Filipino cooking. Enjoy!
