King's Chicken Adobo

INGREDIENTS:

3 pound chicken, cut-up
5 cloves garlic, crushed
1 ½ cups rice wine vinegar
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
3 bay leaves
1 Tablespoon black peppercorns

METHOD:

In a sauce pot, combine the chicken, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, water, bay leaves and peppercorns, and bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 35 to 45 minutes. Pan fry or grill chicken before serving.

NOTES:

Traditionally, the chicken is pan fried in its own fat which is skimmed from the top of the braise. For more flavor and depth, add pork belly to the recipe. Adobo is the national dish of the Philippines.
