Adobong Manok


Chicken Adobo Ingredients:
1/2 kilo chicken (any parts)

Adobong Manok

3 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup soy sauce for marinating
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 - 4 tbsp vinegar
freshly ground black pepper
3 bay leaves (laurel)
vegetable oil
2 chili peppers chopped (optional)
1/4 cup water
Chicken Adobo Cooking Instructions:
Marinate chicken in soy sauce, garlic, vinegar and pepper at least one hour or until flavor soaks in chicken meat.

Place the marinated chicken and juices in a pot. Add in garlic. Season with soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves, and pepper.

Add water and bring to boil. Simmer over low heat (20 to 30 minutes) until chicken is tender.

When chicken meat is tender and sauce has soaked in, add 2 tbsp cooking oil and chili peppers. Mix until well blended. Turn off heat.

Serve with steamed rice. Fish sauce can be used as a dipping sauce.

Note: If you don't want a dry chicken adobo, simmer it for a shorter period of time. Adjust the seasoning, according to taste. If you want a spicier adobo, you can add more chopped chili peppers.
