Chicken Adobo

My favorite authentic Filipino dish of all time! Again, blissfully free of both tomatoes and dairy! This is my family's recipe


Ingredients

* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 1 (2-3 pound) chicken, cut into pieces (I prefer legs small legs and wings)
* 1 onion, quartered and sliced
* 2 tablespoons minced garlic
* 1/3 cup white vinegar
* 2/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
* 1 tablespoon garlic powder
* Few pieces of peppercorn (most use 2 bay leaves)


1. Marinate chicken in soy sauce and vinegar overnight, or for few hours prior to cooking.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken pieces until golden brown on both sides, then remove. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook until they soften and brown, about 6 minutes.
3. Pour in vinegar and soy sauce mixture, and season with garlic powder, peppercorns (Most use bay leaves and black pepper). Add the browned chicken, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes.
(Note: if the taste isn't to your liking, you can neutralize the intensity of vinegar,soy sauce using small amounts of white sugar)
4. Serve over white rice!

DELICIOUS!
