Chicken adobo

Ingredients;
4 -5 lbs. chicken thighs
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp. black peppercorns
3 bay leaves
Directions;
Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Cover and marinate chicken for 1-3 hours. Bring to boil, then lower
heat. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and simmer until sauce is
reduced and thickened, and chicken is tender, about 20 more minutes. Serve with steamed rice.
Ingredients
Marinade:
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup light brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, crushed
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 dried bay leaves
12 chicken drumsticks
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons arrowroot
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 large limes)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
Lime wedges
Directions
For the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, red pepper
flakes, and bay leaves. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a 9-by-13-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Pour the marinade
over the chicken and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the chicken over halfway through.
Place the chicken and marinade in a large, high-sided skillet or Dutch oven and add the chicken
broth. Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for
45 to 50 minutes, turning the chicken every 20 minutes, until cooked through and a meat
thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees F. Remove the
chicken from the liquid and arrange on a serving platter. Discard the bay leaves and garlic cloves.
Whisk the arrowroot and lime juice into the liquid and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until the
mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the sauce over the
chicken or serve alongside as a dipping sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro, if using,
and garnish with lime wedges.

by: Elaine Ilagan

When you go to the Philippines, one of the most famous dishes is Adobo which can be done in a variety
of ingredient. It could be fish, pork, beef or chicken. Some exotic animals such as frog, bayawak, or
even snake can be cooked in adobo style.
Since Philippines is made of three large islands named Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao it can be that there
will be different culture and way of making adobo recipe. And since each large island is also composed of
many small islands which is counted into thousands than it could be the adobo recipecan still be done a
thousand different ways.
Basically, adobo is made up of meat (chicken, pork, beef or fish) with spices basically vinegar,
soy sauce, pepper, salt and some herbs. Actually adobo is a Spanish terms which means to marinate or
to combine the ingredients and left for preservation. The actual historically adobo came fromCaribbean
and Spain where one of the places which is abundant in herbs and spices.
It is believed that Filipinos learned this recipe from Spaniards since Philippines has been their
colony for 400 years. Like other countries and cultures, Filipinos also learned to use methods to preserve
food and using acid in vinegar, and salt in soy sauce, makes it more known to many people.
Though it was not named before the Spaniards invaded the country, then they taught local people that
this marinated food is called adobo. At the time being, adobo has innovated its way of marinate, cooking
and presentation. More ingredients have been added and sweets are sometimes also included in other

Today, other way of adobo cooking is still invented in the Philippines. And it will not stop because
people will be craving for more imaginative way of making adobo style foods. And Filipinos are the only
