Filipino Adobo Style Chicken Recipes

FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, jalapeno peppers, and garlic together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken wings and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Remove chicken wings from the marinade and shake off excess. Reserve marinade.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Place chicken wings in the hot oil and pan-fry for 2 minutes per side. Slowly pour in reserved marinade (including garlic) and water. Bring to a boil. Add bay leaves and peppercorns and simmer until chicken is tender, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Stir in vinegar and cook for 5 minutes. Stir again and season with sugar and salt to taste. Serve hot.

FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO (FLAVOUR KAPOW!)

Steps:

• Combine Chicken and Marinade ingredients in a bowl. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and place in the pan. Sear both sides until browned - about 1 minute on each side. Do not cook the chicken all the way through.
• Remove chicken skillet and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in skillet. Add garlic and onion, cook 1 1/2 minutes.
• Add the reserved marinade, water, sugar and black pepper. Bring it to a simmer then turn heat down to medium high. Simmer 5 minutes.
• Add chicken smooth side down. Simmer uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes (no need to stir), turning chicken at around 15 minutes, until the sauce reduces down to a thick jam-like syrup.
• If the sauce isn't thick enough, remove chicken onto a plate and let the sauce simmer by itself - it will thicken much quicker - then return chicken to the skillet to coat in the glaze.
• Coat chicken in glaze then serve over rice. Pictured in post as a healthy dinner plate (415 calories) with cauliflower rice and Ginger Smashed Cucumbers.

FILIPINO-STYLE CHICKEN ADOBO RECIPE

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Blot chicken dry with paper towels, then season lightly all over with salt.
• To Serve : The chicken is best served after sitting overnight in the refrigerator (see notes), but it can also be served immediately, with steamed white rice or (preferably) garlic fried rice. The chicken pieces can also be briefly broiled before serving.
• To Broil Chicken Adobo: Adjust oven rack to 6 inches below broiler element and preheat broiler to high. Transfer chicken pieces to a paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet and blot surface with more paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible; discard paper towels. Arrange chicken skin side up on the baking sheet and broil until chicken skin is crispy and lightly charred, about 2 minutes (keep an eye on the chicken to ensure it does not burn). Serve immediately with steamed white rice or (preferably) garlic fried rice, passing adobo sauce at the table.

FILIPINO ADOBO (PORK OR CHICKEN) WITH SLOW COOKER VARIATION

• Stove top instructions.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a large pot. (The women who shared the recipe with me put the spices into the pot freely.

Do whichever please you).
