I hope my Filipino friends won’t mind me adding a Thai twist to this chicken adobo, but the sweet, rich, and tangy adobo sauce reminds me of a Thai dish called “Palo.” With that said, I couldn’t resist adding my own touch to it. Our family loves it, and we hope you all do too.
I hope my Filipinos friends won’t be mad at me for adding the Thai twist to this amazing dish from their country. It’s just that this yummy sauce reminds me so much of one of our dishes from home so here it is. Chicken Adobo Recipe Ingredients: * 4 chicken drumsticks * 4 chicken thighs * 20 garlic cloves, heavily crushed * Some cracked pepper (optional) * 1 cup apple cider vinegar * 1/2 cup soy sauce * 1 tablespoon black peppercorns * 3 tablespoons brown sugar * 4 bay leaves * 1/2 cup water * Green onions for topping * Rice for serving Instruction 1.

Vinegar plays a crucial role in this recipe, imparting a tangy flavor that I adore. Filipino cane vinegar is typically preferred by my Filipino friends for its mild and smooth taste compared to white wine vinegar. While I don’t have Filipino cane vinegar in my kitchen at the moment, apple cider vinegar and rice vinegar are suitable alternatives. I opt for apple cider vinegar in my recipe because I believe that if I can enjoy it on its own, it will enhance the flavor of my adobo.
Prepare the marinade by crushing the garlic using a knife, rolling pin, or skillet. Mix the crushed garlic with soy sauce, brown sugar, peppercorns, and apple cider vinegar. Finally, add bay leaves on top.
Marinade the chicken at least 20 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare boiled eggs. Bring water to a boil in a pot, then add the eggs and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes. Next, transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Allow them to soak in the ice bath for a minute or two, then begin peeling the eggs. Set the peeled eggs aside.
To sauté the onions, slice or mince a yellow or white onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet, then sauté the onion until it becomes translucent. Set it aside once done.
To sear the chicken, use medium-high heat and cook it for a few minutes on each side until browned.
Add all of the marinade and 1/2 cup of water to the skillet along with the sautéed onion. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover, and let it braise for about 30 minutes.
Remove the lid, flip both the eggs and chicken, and let them continue cooking for another 30 minutes uncovered, or until the chicken is fork-tender. Finally, top with chopped green onion
