Lolah's Adobo Chicken
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, rinsed and patted dry
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons pickling spice, wrapped in cheesecloth
Instructions
1
Preheat the cooking vessel by heating a generous amount of oil over an intermediate temperature until it reaches a state of gentle movement. Sauté the minced garlic in the oil for a brief period, not exceeding 30 seconds to preserve its flavor and aroma.
2
Introduce the chicken pieces into the pot, stirring continuously to ensure even cooking. Allow the chicken to transform into a uniform white color on all sides, without achieving any browning.
3
Add the soy sauce, vinegar, and water to the pot, along with the pickling spice. Ensure that the entire spice ball is fully submerged in the liquid to extract its full flavor potential.
4
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then gradually decrease the heat to maintain a gentle simmering pace. Cover the pot partially with its lid, allowing some steam to escape while maintaining a delicate balance of flavors.
5
Simply let the dish cook for 1 hour, or until the chicken has achieved a tender and fall-apart texture.
