How to Cook Delicious Adobong Manok

Ingredients

• 2-4 kilo chicken cut into serving pieces
• 3/4 cup vinegar 
• 1/4 cup soy sauce 
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
• 4-6 cloves crushed garlic
• 1-2 pieces bay leaf 
• 5-7 peppercorns 
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup water
• 1/4 oil

Steps

1. Combine the chicken pieces, vinegar, soy sauce, onion, garlic, bay leaf, peppercorns and salt to a large bowl and refrigerate for 1-4 hours to marinate.
2. Heat up some cooking oil in a pan. Place the chicken and its marinade in a large pot. Add the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Let it simmer for around 15 minutes. Put some soy sauce and let it simmer again for roughly around 15 minutes.  Mix it from time to time.
4. Add some vinegar.  Cover it and don’t stir.  Let it boil.
5. Simmer it until you reach desired consistency of the sauce.  We like the sauce thick so I would simmer it for roughly 15 more minutes on low to medium heat.

Your Adobong Manok is already done.  Serve it with rice. Enjoy.
