Chicken Adobo Special

Combine the chicken thighs, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, peppercorns and bay leaves in a large pot. Cover and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours.  Remove the lid and simmer until the sauce is reduced and thickened and the chicken is tender, about 20 more.

Ingredients:
1 kilo chicken
1-2 Heads Garlic chopped
1 Onion chopped
1 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Cup White Vinegar
4 Cups Water
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 pcs Dried Laurel leaves
Pepper Corns
1 tbsp Dried Basil leaves (optional)
Salt
Cooking Oil
4 Tbsp Mama Sita's Oyster Sauce (optional)

Chicken Marinate:
Paprika powder, barbeque powder, garlic powder

*I marinate my adobo with these powder. But the traditional adobo doesn't need this. So this is just optional.

Mamas Guide Instructions:

1. Marinate chicken with paprika, barbeque and garlic powder for 30 mins or more before cooking.
2. Heat oil in the pan to sautee garlic and onion. Cook it until slightly brown and translucent using low heat.
3. Add your chicken cuts and fry it for about 8-10 minutes.
4. Once chicken is slightly brown, it's time to add your sugar and oyster sauce. Stir it until sugar slightly caramelize.


5. Dilute 2 tbsp of water in 1 cup of white vinegar. This is too soften the strong taste of white vinegar. Or you can use other types of vinegar. Then pour it into chicken.

6. Do not stir the vinegar. Let it cook without stirring for 5 minutes.
