Margo's Chicken Adobo

Use equal parts vinegar, soy sauce and water. The secret ingredient is cinnamon. This can also be made in the slow cooker: after browning chicken, onion and garlic, transfer to slow cooker, add the rest of the ingredients, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or 4 hours on high.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 3 pounds chicken drumsticks and thighs

  • 1 onion, coarsely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1 cup low sodium soy sauce

  • 1 cup water

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 10 whole black peppercorns

  • 1 cinnamon stick

Directions

  1. Heat canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, and pan-fry the chicken drumsticks and thighs until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken pieces, and set aside. Stir onion and garlic into the hot skillet, and cook and stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes.

  2. Pour in apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and water; stir in bay leaves, peppercorns, and the cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, scraping up and dissolving any browned flavor bits from the bottom of the pan. Return chicken pieces and any juice that has formed to the pan.

  3. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and simmer until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 45 minutes.
