Chicken Adobo

(from aloogobi’s recipe box)

Categories: chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 6 skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, then turn over and cook an additional 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.

  2. Pour off all but 1 tbsp. of pan drippings and return pan to low heat. Add garlic and sauté until soft, about 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients and stir to incorporate. Return chicken to pan and cook, covered, for 20 minutes.

  3. Uncover, increase heat to medium-low and cook 15 to 20 minutes more, occasionally spooning sauce over chicken, until sauce thickens a bit and chicken is tender and nicely glazed with sauce. Remove bay leaf before eating.
