Chicken Adobo

Adapted from The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook

1.5 lbs skin-on chicken legs and thighs

1/3 cup cider vinegar

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 bay leaves

1 teaspoon black peppercorns

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 cup water

In a large pot or dutch oven, combine all of the ingredients and marinate the chicken for 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Place the pot over high heat and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Using tongs, remove chicken from pot and place on a dish. Keep the adobo sauce on the stove and increase heat to high. Boil sauce for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken.

Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels, then place skin-side up on a sheet pan. Place the sheet pan under the broiler and broil chicken for 2-3 minutes until skin is brown and crisp.

After chicken has browned, pour adobo sauce over chicken and serve over white rice.
