Chicken Adobo

CHICKEN ADOBO
4-6 Chicken Thighs
3 cups of Vinegar
3 cups of Soy Sauce
Pinch of Garlic (Optional)
Rice (



1. Defrost the Chicken during the day.
2. Later in the afternoon, place both 3 cups vinegar and 3 cups soy sauce in a medium sized pan. Bring to a boil, and add chicken.
3. Turn the heat down to a simmer. Maintain a light boil for a little over one hour. 75 minutes works great for me.
4. Once chicken has been cooking for 50 minutes or so, start cooking the rice. If you buy Uncle Ben's Rice, follow simple directions located on box. Use standard procedure for cooking rice if regular rice. About 6 servings of rice works well with 5 pieces of chicken for me. This usually lasts me two meals.
5. Once rice is finished, the Chicken should be finished shortly. Place two pieces of chicken on a plate with some rice. Next, add 2 big spoonfuls of sauce over the rice and chicken. Don't use paper plates, as the sauce soakes right through it.
6. Now for the good part: Cut a piece of meat off the chicken, dip it in the sauce, add a little rice and take a bite.

Chicken Adobo
* chicken
* soy sauce
* vinegar
* garlic
* sugar
* pepper

Put cut up chicken in a medium sized pot. Cover about 1/2 way with soy sauce. Add a bit of vinegar (maybe about 1/3 the amount of soy sauce). Add about 4 -5 cloves of crushed garlic. Add about a teaspoon of sugar and a few dashes of pepper. Cover and simmer for about 30 min. Stirring once in a while. Keep tasting the sauce because the sauce is the absolute most important thing in the dish. You might even want to put a little bit of oregano in it. Serve over rice.
