A flavorful twist on the classic Filipino Chicken Adobo, this recipe offers enhanced flavors and a simplified cooking process.
In a large pot, combine the chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and sugar.
Mix the ingredients well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pot.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
Check occasionally to ensure the sauce is not reducing too quickly.
Remove the lid and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Stir gently to coat the chicken evenly with the thickened sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.
Add salt gradually to avoid over-seasoning.
Serve the chicken hot with a side of steamed rice or your preferred accompaniment.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or green onions for a touch of color and freshness.
