Chicken Adobo Recipe

Adobo is a famous Filipino dish, which can be done with chicken, pork, fish or vegetables.

There are variations in the ingredients and cooking procedures of chicken adobo, depending on the taste and style of the cook.

The recipe below is my own version. I particularly like this recipe because it doesn't require much time to prepare. I just combine all the ingredients and cook it. That's how easy it is. I used chicken thighs because it's my favorite part of the chicken. Packed and frozen chicken thighs can be easily found in any supermarkets in Abu Dhabi.

1/2 kilo Chicken Thighs, cleaned (thaw if using frozen chicken)

1 medium onion, sliced

3 gloves garlic, crushed

6 tbsp. soy sauce (adjust amount according to taste)

black pepper

bay leaf (optional)

chili flakes (optional)

1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
