Chicken Adobo Steamy Kitchen Recipes

FILIPINO-STYLE CHICKEN ADOBO RECIPE

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Blot chicken dry with paper towels, then season lightly all over with salt.
• To Serve : The chicken is best served after sitting overnight in the refrigerator (see notes), but it can also be served immediately, with steamed white rice or (preferably) garlic fried rice. The chicken pieces can also be briefly broiled before serving.
• To Broil Chicken Adobo: Adjust oven rack to 6 inches below broiler element and preheat broiler to high. Transfer chicken pieces to a paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet and blot surface with more paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible; discard paper towels. Arrange chicken skin side up on the baking sheet and broil until chicken skin is crispy and lightly charred, about 2 minutes (keep an eye on the chicken to ensure it does not burn). Serve immediately with steamed white rice or (preferably) garlic fried rice, passing adobo sauce at the table.

SLOW COOKER FILIPINO-STYLE CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• In a slow cooker, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, peppercorns, garlic and bay leaves and stir to combine. Add the chicken, turning to coat evenly. Cover and cook the chicken on low until tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place on a plate. Strain the cooking liquid into a small pot. Place over medium-high heat and simmer until reduced to a thick sauce. Place the chicken back in the slow cooker to stay warm while the sauce reduces.
• Spoon some rice into serving bowls. Top with the chicken and some of the sauce, then garnish with the pickled peppers and scallions.

FAMOUS CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken pieces until golden brown on both sides, then remove. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook until they soften and brown, about 6 minutes.
• Pour in vinegar and soy sauce, and season with garlic powder, black pepper, and bay leaf. Add the browned chicken, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes.

CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• Trim the excess skin and large lumps of fat from the chicken.
• Marinate the chicken pieces with the soy sauce and smashed garlic for 30 minutes.
• Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and pat dry. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Once hot, place the chicken legs into the pan, working in batches if necessary, and brown on both sides. When all the pieces are browned, add the bay leaves and cracked peppercorns and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Return all the chicken pieces to the pot along with the reserved soy and garlic marinade and add the chicken stock. Bring to a low boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until tender, about 40 minutes.
• When the chicken is tender, add the sugar and vinegar. Simmer another 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. The adobo should have a kick of vinegar but taste balanced. If desired, stir in some of the slurry to thicken the liquid into a sauce. Serve over steamed rice with a fresh grind of black pepper.

INSTANT POT CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• Season the chicken legs generously with salt and pepper. Turn an Instant Pot® (see Cook's Note) to the high saute setting and add the oil. Once it's shimmering, but not smoking, add half the chicken pieces and brown on both sides, about 7 minutes. Remove with tongs to a plate and brown the remaining chicken pieces.
• Return all the chicken to the multi-cooker and add the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, onion and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 8 minutes.
• After the pressure cook cycle is complete follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid and turn the Instant Pot® back to the high saute setting. Let the sauce come to a boil and reduce it until dark brown and thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
• Transfer the chicken and sauce to a serving platter, sprinkle with scallions and serve with rice.

CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• Put the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, peppercorns, red pepper, garlic, bay leaves and 1/2 cup water in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Close and shake to combine the ingredients and dissolve the sugar.
• Open the bag, add the chicken and reseal; shake to distribute the marinade around the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Adjust an oven rack to the top position and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Pour everything from the bag into a large Dutch oven or pot and arrange the chicken in a single layer. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, adjust the heat to low and cook, turning the drumsticks occasionally, until the chicken is tender and registers 165 degrees F in the deepest part of the leg, 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover the pot and transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
• Increase the heat and bring the remaining liquid in the pot to a boil. Cook until reduced and just slightly thinner than maple syrup, 7 to 9 minutes. Strain the sauce and discard the solids.
• Meanwhile, broil the chicken until browned in spots, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a shallow bowl and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve with rice.
