How to Make Adobo Filipino Style

1. In a large pot, combine 1 lb bone-in chicken thighs (or pork shoulder), 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup cane vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 6 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Let stand for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, or until the meat is incredibly tender.
3. Carefully remove the meat from the pot and set aside. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, reserving the liquid; discard the solids.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Add the meat to the skillet and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes, ensuring a beautiful sear.
6. Transfer the browned meat to a serving dish and set aside.
7. Pour off any excess oil from the skillet, leaving behind the flavorful browned bits.
8. Add the reserved sauce to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
9. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
10. Pour the flavorful sauce over the meat and serve immediately over warm sticky rice.
