How to Make Andrea's Favourite Aka Chicken Adobo
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 teaspoons black peppercorns, and 1 teaspoon bay leaves.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Add 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or a mix of thighs and drumsticks).
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, turning the chicken about 5 times to ensure even cooking and coating.
- For crispier chicken, uncover the pot during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to your desired consistency.
- Serve hot over steamed white rice or brown rice. Enjoy!
