Chicken Adobo is a Filipino recipe that you can make any where in the world as long as you have a crock pot that you can plug into the wall. Adobo is a spanish word for marinate...so if you have some members of your household who are not very adventurous, then you can truthfully say that you're making marinated chicken for dinner.
With a sweet and tangy sauce, this taste of the exotic is perfect for nights chicken seems unappealing. You'll be transported to the lush island paradise minus the volcanoes.
Ingredients:
1 (3-lb) frying chicken, skinned and cut into serving pieces
5 cloves garlic, crushed
2 bay leaves
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon finely grated fresh peeled ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed black peppercorns
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup chicken stock
Green onions, sliced, for garnish
Directions:
1. Place the chicken pieces in the crock pot. Add the garlic, bay leaves, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ginger, peppercorns and brown sugar. Toss to coat.
2. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and chicken stock together. Pour over chicken and mix gently.
