Hello! How are you? Classic Chicken Adobo is something that I always cook whenever veggies are expensive or we don't have any in our refrigerator. And we love to cook it during an outing or a trip, eating with our hands is something that we always do whenever we eat this, and "mapaparami ka talaga ng kanin" LOL.
When I was still learning or watching my mom cook, I always wondered why they add vinegar (especially the white vinegar) to it, would it taste sour after that? Now I know why it makes the dish taste more savory and balances it. I love how innocent and naive I was back then, but now I am the cook of the house, and these condiments are really incredible.
Ingredients I Used:
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- Kilo of chicken thigh and legs
- half tsp of Rock salt and ground pepper
- 2 cups of water
- 5 cloves of Galic
- 3 red onion
- 4 red chilis
- tsp of whole pepper
- 5 laurel leaves
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 chicken broth cube
- 1 tbsp of white vinegar
- half tsp all-in-1 seasoning
- 1 tsp brown sugar
Cooking Time!
In a hot pan, I added about 2 tbsp of cooking oil. (I used coconut oil)
Next, I am going to cook the chicken. I used the thigh and legs. I love using this part of the chicken, it is the best for adobo.
I let the chicken cook until brown and crispy spots start appearing on it. Trust me, the chicken will taste better if you do that.
Next is I added the aromatics like garlic, red onion, and I added the 4 chilis too.
Next is I added a tsp of whole pepper.
Then I added 5 laurel leaves to add a little flavor and aroma to the adobo.
Next is I added about 2 tbsp of soy sauce.
I let the soy sauce seep into the chicken before I added water.
Next, I added about 2 cups of water and 1 chicken broth cube.
Next is I added 1 tbsp of white vinegar.
Next, I added about half a tsp of all-in-one seasoning.
Then, after that, I added about 1 tsp of brown sugar, which balances the flavor of the adobo.
You know it's ready when the sauce is thick. Ready to be plated.
Happy Eating, Everybody! :D
