Filipino "Adobo"-Style Chicken

8 whole chicken legs (about 4 pounds), cut into drumstick and thigh sections
1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 bay leaves
1/2 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, crushed lightly
1 cup water
3/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Chopped scallions, for garnish
Accompaniment: Cooked rice


In a large kettle combine the chicken, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and 1 cup water, bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer it, covered, for 20 minutes. Add the soy sauce and simmer the mixture, covered, for 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken with tongs to a plate and boil the liquid for 10 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 1 cup. Let the sauce cool, remove the bay leaves, and skim the fat from the surface.
In a large skillet heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it saute the chicken, patted dry, in batches, turning it, for 5 minutes, or until it is browned well. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed platter, pour the sauce, heated, over it, and serve the chicken with the rice

My wife's recipe is almost the same as number except leave out the vegetable oil...use about 2 oz. of oyster sauce and cook hard boiled eggs in the sauce. Of course the eggs should be cooked, shelled and then placed in the adobo pot approximately 5 minutes before the food is done. Adobo does tend to taste better the next day because more of the liquid absorbs into the food.

Here's 30-minute meal for you.

Boil the cut up chicken for about 15 minutes until tender, together with a few garlic cloves, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Wate level should be just below the top level of the chicken pieces. When the chicken is tender, soy sauce to color and taste. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Add a splash of vinegar to add a little tang to it. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of sugar for sweetness. Simmer another 5 minutes. Serve over Jasmine rice. It gets better as the day goes on. Adobo is the Spanish word for "marinate" Good luck!

CHICKEN ADOBO (FILIPINO VERSION)

1 whole chicken (cut into eighths)
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
**7up/sprite
**1 whole lemon (cut into 4)

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 saute until the chicken is beginning to tenderize.

Add ground black pepper, whole black pepper cloves, soy sauce, and vinegar, and let simmer for 25-35 mins or until chicken is done.

Make sure to add more vinegar or soy sauce until it suits your taste (should be a bit tangy). When chicken is tender, add some 7 up if you want a sweeter taste, and let simmer for 5 more mins.

Serve over rice.
