Chicken Adobo (Peanut-Free)
Classic Filipino adobo, made safely without peanuts. Chicken is braised in a savory sauce of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and bay leaves until tender and flavorful.
Ingredients
- about 910 g Chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 6 cloves Garlic
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
- 1 tsp Black peppercorns
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine the about 910 g Chicken thighs, 1/2 cup Soy sauce, 1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar, 6 cloves Garlic (minced), 2 leaves Bay leaves, and 1 tsp Black peppercorns. Stir everything together to coat the chicken. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours.
- 2Place a large pot or Dutch oven on the stove over medium heat. Add the 2 tbsp Coconut oil and let it heat up until it shimmers, about 1-2 minutes.
- 3Carefully add the marinated chicken thighs to the hot pot, reserving all the liquid marinade in the bowl. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until it is browned all over.
- 4Pour the reserved marinade from the bowl into the pot with the chicken. Add the 1 cup Water to the pot. Stir everything together.
- 5Bring the liquid in the pot to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat, about 3-5 minutes. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly with a lid, and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes. The chicken is done when it is very tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- 6Serve the chicken adobo hot over the 4 cups Cooked white rice.
