Chicken Adobo Draft

Chicken drumsticks marinated in soy sauce, vinegar and brown sugar, then simmered in a pot with a sauce thickened at the end with lime. I make it when I want sweet-and-tangy chicken in one pot.

How I make it

  1. In a bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients and pour into a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) glass baking dish.

  2. Add the chicken in a single layer, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours. Turn the chicken after 1 hour.

  3. Transfer the chicken and marinade to a heavy pot, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  4. Lower the heat and simmer for 40-45 minutes, turning the chicken every 20 minutes.

  5. Move the chicken to a serving platter. Remove the bay leaves and garlic cloves from the sauce.

  6. In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch into the lime juice and pour it into the sauce.

  7. Bring to a boil, stirring, until the sauce thickens, and keep stirring for about 2 minutes.

  8. Season with salt and pepper, pour over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley.
