Chicken Adobo
Dinner, LunchA quintessential Filipino comfort dish, Chicken Adobo is a savory, tangy, and slightly sweet stew that features tender chicken pieces braised to perfection. The dish is defined by its signature marinade of soy sauce and vinegar, infused with aromatic garlic, black peppercorns, and bay leaves. In this specific preparation, the chicken is first pan-seared to achieve a golden-brown, rendered skin before being simmered in its flavorful liquid. The addition of a touch of sugar balances the acidity of the vinegar, resulting in a rich, thickened sauce that coats the meat. It is traditionally served over a generous bed of warm, steamed white rice, which perfectly absorbs the umami-rich gravy.
