Classic Chicken Adobo

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.

2. 2

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.

3. 3

   Add the marinated chicken and marinade to the pot. Bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Add the bay leaves and black peppercorns. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.

5. 5

   Remove the lid and continue to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken.

6. 6

   Serve the chicken adobo hot with steamed rice.
