30-Min. Easy Chicken Adobo (No Marinating!)

4 servings · 5 min prep · 25 min cook

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 4 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (pat dry)
• 1/4 cup regular soy sauce (or light soy sauce)
• 1/2 cup rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
• 1 1/2 tbsp garlic (sliced)
• 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
• 2 bay leaves (dried)
• 1/2 medium onion (cut into 1/2" thick slices)
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)

Steps

1. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Cook the onions until softened.
2. Make space in the center of the pan. Place 4 chicken skin-side down and sear without moving for 3 minutes until golden brown.

3. Pour in ¼ cup soy sauce, then add 1 ½ tbsp garlic, ½ tsp peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, and ½ cup vinegar last. Do not stir after adding the vinegar. Let it simmer undisturbed so the sharp vinegar flavor can mellow.
4. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to low-medium heat. Maintain a steady simmer for 10 minutes.

5. Remove the lid and flip the chicken skin-side up. Cover and simmer for another 10 minutes.

6. Remove the lid and check that the thickest part of the chicken has reached 165°F. If needed, continue simmering until cooked through. Simmer uncovered for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, watching closely so it doesn't reduce too far. Remove from heat and serve.
