Adobo Chicken with Ginger

01Method

1. 1

   Place the chicken pieces, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, peppercorns, garlic, and bay leaves into a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat, cover, and let the chicken cook at a gentle simmer for 30 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the chicken as it cooks.

2. 2

   Remove the lid and allow the liquid to continue simmering until it reduces by roughly half, about 5 to 10 minutes. Check that a thermometer inserted close to the bone registers 74 degrees C (165 degrees F).

3. 3

   Lift the chicken out and arrange on a serving plate. Pour the remaining liquid through a strainer to discard the bay leaves and any solids.

4. 4

   Serve the chicken warm, spooning the strained sauce over the top.
