Chicken Adobo Instant Pot
Whip up succulent Chicken Adobo in your Instant Pot! This recipe delivers fall-apart tender chicken in a rich, tangy, and savory sauce for dinner tonight.
Ingredients
- 10 chicken drumsticks
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1/2 yellow onion sliced
- 10-12 garlic cloves peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
Instructions
- Season the chicken drumsticks with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Turn on the saute feature of your Instant Pot and heat the avocado oil. Brown the chicken drumsticks in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Once all the chicken is browned, return it to the pot. Add the sliced onion, chopped garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, water, bay leaves, and black pepper.
- Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to cook on high pressure for 9 minutes. After cooking, carefully perform a manual release of the pressure.
- Remove the lid and switch the Instant Pot to the saute function again. Let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Discard the bay leaves. Serve the chicken on a platter, drizzled with the thickened adobo sauce. It pairs wonderfully with steamed rice.
