Filipino Chicken Adobo

In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and black peppercorns. Add chicken thighs and coat evenly. Allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve the marinade) and add to the skillet.

Step 2

Pour the reserved marinade and water into the skillet. Add sugar and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.

STEP 3

Remove the bay leaves. Increase heat to medium-high and cook uncovered for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly. Serve hot.
