How to Make Adobo Chicken With Ginger
- In a large Dutch oven, combine 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 inch ginger (minced), 2 bay leaves, and 1 tsp black peppercorns.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, basting the chicken occasionally.
- After 30 minutes, remove the lid and continue to simmer until the sauce has reduced by half and the chicken is cooked through (about 15-20 minutes).
- Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside on a serving plate.
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove solids, reserving the liquid.
- Serve the chicken hot over steamed rice, generously drizzled with the reserved sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
