Jared’s take on Chicken Adobo
Serves 3 to 4

Ingredients
6 to 8 Chicken Thighs (skin left on)
? cup Soy Sauce (or low-sodium Soy Sauce)
1 cup White Wine Vinegar
? cup Sake (or Mirin)
2 tbsp Light Brown Sugar
1 tbsp Whole Black Pepper Corns
3 Bay Leaves
6 to 8 Large Garlic Cloves – coarsely chopped (yes, that’s a lot of garlic!)
1 to 1? inch Ginger – coarsely chopped

Utensils
• Measuring Cups & Spoons
• Mixing Bowl
• 6-quart Saut? Pan with Lid
• Tongs

The Method
Combined all of the ingredients mentioned above, with the exception of the chicken, in a mixing bowl. Use low-sodium Soy Sauce if you prefer or dilute with water if the sauce is too salty for your taste. You can marinate the chicken in the sauce ahead of time or cook all at once.

Pour the sauce into a 6-quart saut? pan. Heat the sauce until boiling. Once it is boiling add the chicken and parboil for about 5 minutes, turning the pieces over half way through the cooking process.

After the 5 minutes, turn the chicken once more and reduce the heat to medium-low to low. Cover the pan completely and simmer for 45 minutes to one hour or until chicken is tender and falling off the bone. Turn the chicken about every 10 minutes while it is cooking.

Serve over sticky rice (steamed sushi rice).
