Filipino Chicken Adobo (Authentic and Easy Recipe)
The national dish of the Philippines — and one of the great braises of the world. Chicken thighs are simmered low and slow in a deeply savoury mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, and whole peppercorns until the meat is fall-apart tender and the sauce has reduced to a glossy, intensely flavoured coating. The vinegar tenderises and preserves the chicken while the soy sauce provides depth. The result is something remarkable in its simplicity.
