Ingredients
Directions
6 STEPS
1
In a large bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce and minced garlic. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for 30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even coverage.
2
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil. Remove chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and carefully place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet. Brown for 5 minutes on each side.
3
Add the reserved marinade, water, dried bay leaves, and whole black peppercorns to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
4
Uncover the skillet and add the white vinegar, stirring gently to combine. Simmer for 10 more minutes.
5
Stir in the brown sugar and salt, then let it cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
6
Serve the chicken adobo with steamed rice, and spoon the sauce over the top. Enjoy!
