Grilled Chicken Adobo
Make this dish straight off a Manila menu! Grilled Adobo Chicken takes the flavorful dark meat and marinates it in a savory mix of soy, honey, vinegar, and bay leaves.
Ingredients
- 3 lb. skinless boneless chicken thighs
- 1 1/2 cups soy sauce
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3/4 cup vinegar
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
- 3 bay leaves
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and brush the grate with a little oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large pot, combine soy sauce, water, vinegar, honey, garlic, bay leaves, and black pepper. Bring it to a boil, then add the chicken thighs. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Take the chicken out of the pot, let it drain on paper towels, and discard the bay leaves. Meanwhile, bring the sauce back to a boil and reduce it to about 1 1/2 cups.
- Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until it's beautifully browned and has a nice crisp exterior.
- Lay the grilled chicken on a bed of fluffy rice and drizzle with the reduced adobo sauce for an extra flavor kick.
