| CHICKEN ADOBO (FILIPINO VERSION) | |
|
1 whole chicken (cut into eight pieces) 1 whole garlic (chopped) olive oil or vegetable/corn oil 1 tsp. ground black pepper 4 whole black pepper cloves 3 dried bay leaves 1 cup soy sauce 1 cup vinegar 7-up or Sprite (optional) 1 whole lemon (cut into 4) (optional) Remember to wash your chicken very well. We recommend using the lemon (in ingredients) to scrub all over the chicken parts and rub some salt into it as well. Heat oil and add all of the garlic, and cook until garlic is lightly browned. Add chicken and sauté until the chicken is beginning to tenderize. Add ground black pepper, whole black pepper cloves, bay leaves, soy sauce, and vinegar, and let simmer for 25-35 minutes or until chicken is done. Taste and adjust to suit your taste (should be a bit tangy). When chicken is tender, you may add some 7-Up or Sprite if you prefer a sweeter taste, and let simmer for 5 more minutes. Serve over rice. | |

Yolanda Houtby (California) says:
Adding salt to this recipe isn't necessary since the soy sauce is salty by itself. I have not tried it with Sprite but I add a few pieces of dried prunes for tangy-sweetness. Like chicken liver? Marinade separately in the same ingredients shown above, fry in hot oil, do not overcook, and mix with your chicken and pork adobo at serving. Delicious!

Would like to try it. What kind of vinegar? White, rice, cider?

Was just watching a friend make this, she used regular white vinegar, same one I use for cleaning stuff.

If you can find the Datu Puti brand of vinegar and soy sauce (Asian stores should carry it) then I'd say use that, it gives it a real authentic taste.

Datu Puti is by far the best. I just made this it is almost like what nanay used to make but I just can't quite get the taste right. MMM MMM Good!
