Simple Chicken Adobo Recipe

I can’t think of a better recipe to start to “teach” someone who wants to start cooking Filipino food. The flavours are so unique, the chicken is tender and it is perfect with steamed white rice – a staple in Filipino cuisine.

My Simple Chicken Adobo 🍗 RECIPE:

Serving Size:

2-3 people

40 minutes

Easy

Ingredients

6 chicken thighs bone-in and skin on (mine are from Costco)
5-10 cloves of garlic
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tsp black peppercorns
4-5 dried bay leaves

Directions

Marinate the ingredients together overnight (at least 4 hours) in the fridge
When you’re ready to cook, heat up a pan on medium heat and sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 mins on each side
