Ingredients

--Adobo Marinade--

3/4 cup vinegar

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 whole garlic bulb, crushed (more if you like)

2-3 Bay Leaves

small handful of whole pepper corns

--Plus--

3 lbs chicken legs and thighs

(you can use with pork or beef too)

Directions

Combine marinade ingredients in a large pot. Add chicken and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 1/2 an hour.

Take chicken out and either put it under a broiler or put it on a very hot grill and cook about 10-12 minutes to brown up nicely.

Meanwhile, bring marinade back to a boil and boil until reduced by about 1/2.

When chicken is done, put on a large serving platter and pour Adobo sauce over it and serve.

Store leftovers in sauce, will keep a week. Supposedly it'll keep without refrigeration, but I've never tried it. (I never ate it as leftovers at my MIL's house either.)

I'm not sure of cooking times if using pork or beef. I just know she made it with that too. The pork I know she slow cooked on low heat (200F I'm guessing) in oven for hours.

Great recipe. Thanks! I wouldn't eat the leftovers if they weren't refrigerated either.

This sounds wonderful. I love Filipino food. Especially Lumpia. My girls and I would go to this one restaurant especially for the Lumpia. Pansit is great too. What is Adobo Marinade and where would I find it? I'm going to bookmark this one. This is a great post.

The adobo will really keep for a few days w/o refrigeration because of the vinegar in the sauce. But then again, why would we NOT refrigerate leftovers?! The adobo is a good picnic food or something to bring during long trips as they really keep well.
In case you still have leftovers, you can shred into very thin pieces/strands and deep fry till crisp. Really good as toppings over steamed rice.

Tc - that's a good point. It's always good to think of foods that won't spoil easily when taking them to potlucks, picnics, or trips. Great idea for leftovers too. :)

The words "Adobo Marinade" in the recipe are simply a heading for the ingredients listed below it. Not a seperate ingredient in itself. Sorry for any confusion.
