Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Bone-in chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.33 cup White vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 pieces Bay leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 4 cups Cooked white rice (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove from heat.
In the crock pot, combine soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaves, ground black pepper, brown sugar, and water. Stir well to mix.
Place the seared chicken thighs into the crock pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and easily pulls apart.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed (add more soy sauce for saltiness or sugar for sweetness).
Serve the chicken adobo hot over cooked white rice, with some sauce ladled on top. Enjoy!
