FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO (ADOBONG MANOK)

Steps:

• Bring to a boil the first 6 ingredients. Simmer for about 50 minutes until the chicken is tender and sauce is reduced by half. I simmered with the lid on for about 35 minutes and took the lid off the last 15 to let the sauce reduce.
• Add salt to taste. Serve hot with rice.

FILIPINO ADOBO (PORK OR CHICKEN) WITH SLOW COOKER VARIATION

Steps:

• Note: The original recipe just called for vinegar. I use Apple Cider Vinegar - just use what you have. Some reviewers have used rice vinegar and been pleased. Rice vinegar seems to have a touch of sweetness. Do what pleases you - experiment and have fun in the kitchen.
• 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. Reviewer Felina suggested tying the spices into a cheesecloth to so that you get the flavor but don't bite into the peppercorns while you eat the dish - a stainless tea ball works too. Do whichever please you).
• Allow everything sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
• Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low; simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours (leave lid slightly ajar).
• Remove lid and cook 10 minutes more.
• Serve with rice.

Steps:

• 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.

CLASSIC FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a deep glass or stainless steel sauce pan.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to medium low.
• Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the meat is very tender.
• Gently turn the meat occasionally during the course of cooking.
• Remove the meat from the sauce and pan-fry in a little oil until browned on all sides.
• Transfer to a serving platter or bowl and cover with sauce. Serve with warm steamed rice.
• While the recipe says to saute the meat after it's cooked, I usually brown the meat before adding the remainder of the incredients. I have no idea what difference this makes, if any.
• I adapted this from a recipe in Philippine Recipes Made Easy, by Violeta A. Noriega.

PINOY CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a 6-quart pot. Pour the water, vinegar, and soy sauce over the chicken. Add the sugar, onion, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves to the pot; bring the mixture to a boil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low; simmer until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the pot and continue cooking the sauce until it thickens, about 10 minutes; season with salt.
• Return the chicken to the pot, making sure the chicken is covered entirely by the sauce. Cook together until the chicken is reheated, about 3 minutes.
