Chicken Adobo ~ Comfort Food from the Philippines

Pane-bistecca
There are some excellent Filipino recipes, including the famous chicken adobo ~ comfort food from the Philippines!

This is a quick recipe, not quite original, but it tastes delicious. Chicken Adobo was brought to the Philippines by the Spanish.

Adobo is derived from adobar=marinate. By adding vinegar to the sauce/marinade they kind of pickled the dish to keep it longer. At that time there were no refrigerators and the Philippines is in a tropical climate. They say, this dish ist the national dish!

Since it’s real comfort food, it fits perfectly into our event fromVolkermampft, the culinary World travel, who is looking for wintery soul food and comfort food this month!

Instructions

1

Step 1

*actually chicken adobo is being cooked with a whole chicken, with skin on and bones, but I chose chicken breasts because I did not want my visitors to have to bother with bones.
2

Step 2

Mix the garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, water and spice and marinade the chicken pieces  for 1 hour in it.

Step 3

I cooked the adobo in a clay pot, so the cooking is a little slower but the chicken will stay juicy. Heat the clay pot and add the chicken with the marinade, cook slowly for approx. 1 hour.

Step 4

Heat some oil in a wide pan and fry the chicken pieces until browned. It does not have to cook too long as the chicken is already cooked.

Step 5

Meanwhile mix the cornstarch with the water and add to the sauce, cook until sauce thickens. Add the chicken pieces and serve with white rice.
