A lovely, balanced tangy chicken dish, originally from the Philippines. The word ‘Adobo’ was given by the Spanish colonist to this Filipino method of cooking chicken or pork in a sauce. The work literally means ‘marinade or sauce’.
Serving this with the orange segments gives this dish a lovely, refreshing touch.
Ingredients
How to?
Mix the soy sauce, water, vinegar, honey and pepper together. Heat the oil in a large fry pan, and fry the chicken for a few minutes on each side – until the chicken takes on a light golden colour. Remove the chicken from the pan, and set aside. Sauté the onion for a few minutes, until it is softened, and add the garlic – cook through. Place the chicken on top of the onion, pour the sauce mix over and add the bay leaves. Cover with a lid, and cook for 15 minutes, on a low simmer – turning the chicken a few times. Remove the lid and cook for another five minutes – to reduce the sauce.
Serve 2 thighs per person with rice and a couple of orange segments.
