Yummy Chicken Adobo

When you're tired of eating pork, it's time to have some chicken! This is not your classic chicken adobo though. Filipinos love adobo and this is one of my favorite too! Adobo is the favorite packed meal we bring to the beach for overnight stay. One reason is because it becomes more delicious as time flies away. It preserves the soy sauce, garlic and vinegar in chicken. It becomes more tastier in time for overnight stay at the beach. And it doesn't spoil quickly.

This recipe is my very own version. I marinated the chicken with 1 tbsp Paprika, Barbeque powder, and garlic powder. (This is optional)

Ingredients for Adobo:

1 kilo chicken

1-2 Heads Garlic chopped

1 Onion chopped

1 Cup Soy Sauce

1 Cup White Vinegar

4 Cups Water

2 Spoon brown sugar

2 pcs Dried Laurel leaves

Pepper Corns

1 tbsp Dried Basil leaves

Salt

3 Spoon Cooking Oil

3-4 Spoon Mama Sita's Oyster Sauce

How to cook Chicken Adobo:

1. Marinate chicken with paprika, barbeque and garlic powder for 30 mins or more before cooking.

2. Heat oil in the pan to sautee garlic and onion. Cook it until slightly brown and translucent using low heat.

3. Add your chicken cuts and fry it for about 8-10 minutes.

4. Once chciken is slightly brown, it's time to add your sugar and oyster sauce. Stir it until sugar slightly caramelize.

5. Dilute 2 Spoon of water in 1 cup of white vinegar. This is too soften the strong taste of white vinegar. Or you can use other types of vinegar. Then pour it into chicken.

6. Do not stir the vinegar. Let it cook without stirring for 5 minutes.

7. Then add soy sauce and 3-4 cups water. Adjust water to your preference.

8. Add pepper corns, basil and laurel leaves. Simmer for 30 minutes.

9. Add salt to adjust taste.
