How to make it

  • Mix all the ingredients except the bay leaves and sugar then let sit for 30 mins in the fridge. Overnight marinating is preferred.
  • Put all in a saucepan on low to medium heat until it simmers (about 10mins)
  • Put 1 cup water (if there are a lot of water from simmering the chicken in the first 10mins, start with 3/4 cup water) and add bay leaves (if you want sweet adobo, add 1-2 Tbsp of sugar depending on how sweet you want, 1Tbsp is just a bit sweet)
  • Simmer until chicken is tender (about 20-30mins) and sauce has thicken slightly
  • Adjust taste if needed (e.g. add a tsp to a tbsp of vinegar if too salty, or soy sauce if too sour, add a bit of water and sugar if taste is too strong).
  • To check if chicken is well cooked, poke 1 part with a bone ie drumstick and check if it’s cooked through ie no blood
  • Cook another 5-10mins on low heat after adjusting the taste
