Classic Chicken Adobo
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 (3 pound) chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1 large onion, quartered and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, filling it with vegetable oil. Sear chicken pieces until they acquire a golden hue, taking approximately 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate, setting it aside for the time being.
2
Next, add sliced onions and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until they become tender and develop a rich brown color, roughly spanning 3 to 5 minutes.
3
Introduce soy sauce and vinegar into the skillet, seasoning with a pinch of garlic powder, a few grinds of black pepper, and a bay leaf.
4
Return the chicken to the skillet, elevate the heat to high, and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Gradually decrease the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through, taking around 35 to 40 minutes.
