Adobo Chicken
Adobo is the unofficial national dish of the Philippines. Usually made with pork belly or chicken, this dish renders off an incredibly addictive sauce made with soy sauce, lots of vinegar, and a touch of sugar. Salty, sour, and just a little sweet, this dish is worth making for the sauce alone. Flavored with garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaf the chicken slowly cooks for two hours and then a final broil caramelizes the sugars and further reduces the sauce. Served simply over a bed of plain white rice, you’ll be making double batches of this dish before you know it.

5. Return pan to Suvie and broil the chicken for 15 minutes until browned and toss with the sauce to baste. Serve the chicken over rice, spoon the sauce over the chicken so it soaks into the rice, and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime juice. Enjoy!
