Ingredients

• 2 pounds Bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.5 cups Soy sauce
• 0.3 cups White vinegar
• 0.3 cups Water
• 6 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 whole Bay leaves
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Black peppercorns
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the seared chicken to the crock pot.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the soy sauce, white vinegar, water, minced garlic, bay leaves, brown sugar, black peppercorns, and ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken thighs in the crock pot, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade.

Step 4

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 5 hours or on high heat for 3 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Step 5

Once cooked, remove the bay leaves and discard. Optionally, skim any excess fat from the surface of the sauce.

Step 6

Serve the adobo chicken over cooked white rice and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and rice for extra flavor.
