Chicken adobo
Chicken adobo is regarded as the national dish of the Philippines.
Famous for its spicy, tangy marinade, it’s also very easy and cheap to make.
Ingredients:
Serves six
2kg chicken thighs
120ml white vinegar
120ml soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp black peppercorns
3 bay leaves
Combine all the ingredients in a large stewing pot; cover and allow to marinate for at least an hour, preferably up to 3 hours.
When ready to cook, take off the lid and bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pot again and leave to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid once more and allow to simmer uncovered for another 20 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is tender. Then serve immediately with rice.
