Adobo Chicken with Ginger

Chicken adobo is considered the national dish of the Philippines. The combination of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and peppercorns is delicious and actually preserves the chicken! My mother taught me how to cook this using her variation on the original recipe. It's a delicious, cheap, and easy dish. Serve with hot, steamed Jasmine rice.

Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
¾ cup distilled white vinegar
½ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh ginger root
½ tablespoon black peppercorns
1 bulb garlic, peeled and crushed
2 bay leaves

Directions

Combine chicken, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, peppercorns, garlic, and bay leaves in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, basting chicken occasionally with the sauce.
Remove the lid and continue to simmer until liquid has reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Transfer chicken to a serving plate. Strain liquid from the pot to remove bay leaves and other solids.
Serve chicken hot and drizzle with strained sauce.

Ginataang Manok (Chicken Cooked in Coconut Milk)

This ginataang manok is a Filipino chicken dish flavored with ginger and coconut milk. Each family has their own version; this is my mother's. It's a rich dish that makes your kitchen smell so wonderful! Once my family smells the ginger frying and coconut milk simmering, they can't wait for it to be done so they can dig in. I salt it liberally, as the coconut milk tends to hide the salt flavor.
