Margo's Adobo Chicken
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 3 pounds chicken drumsticks and thighs
  • 1 onion, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 10 whole black peppercorns
  • 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
1
Heat canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, and sear the chicken drumsticks and thighs until they develop a golden-brown crust, approximately 5 minutes on each side. Set the chicken aside for further preparation.
2
Introduce the onion and garlic to the still-warm skillet, stirring constantly until they reach a deep brown color, roughly 8 minutes.
3
Add apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and water to the skillet, stirring in bay leaves, peppercorns, and a cinnamon stick. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat, dislodging any browned residue that has accumulated at the bottom of the pan.
4
Return the chicken pieces and any accumulated juices to the skillet, then cover it with a lid.
5
Gradually decrease the heat to a low simmer and let the dish cook until the chicken is completely tender, taking around 45 minutes.
