Chicken Adobo

Marinating the chicken is the key to a flavorful dish. Use a low-sodium soy sauce. My favorite is a tamari soy sauce.

Ingredients

Skinless chicken thighs, 2 or 3

Soy sauce, 1/4 cup

White vinegar, 1/4 cup

Garlic cloves, 6

Bay leaves, 3

Black peppercorns, 1 teaspoon

Maple syrup, 1 tablespoon

Hot pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon

Olive oil, 1 tablespoon

Preparation

In shallow dish, mix liquids and spices. Add chicken thighs and spoon marinade over chicken. Marinate in refrigerator at least 1 hour. Three hours is good too. Heat oil in medium saucepan, then add chicken. Reserve marinade. Lightly brown each side of chicken, then add marinade. Cook on low for 20 minutes. Serve with rice and cooked marinade.
