Chicken Adobo with Soy Sauce and Vinegar

Chicken Adobo with Soy Sauce and Vinegar is a classic Filipino dish that is loved by many. This savory and tangy dish is made with simple ingredients that are easy to find in your pantry.

To make Chicken Adobo with Soy Sauce and Vinegar, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 chicken thigh, bone-in and skin-on
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

To start, heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thigh and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, water, bay leaf, and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
Once the mixture is boiling, add the chicken back into the pan. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside. Increase the heat to high and let the sauce boil until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
To serve, place the chicken on a plate and pour the thickened sauce over it. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro, if desired.
This Chicken Adobo with Soy Sauce and Vinegar dish is a perfect combination of salty and tangy flavors. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is thick and flavorful. It is a great dish to serve with steamed rice and vegetables.
