What’s Cookin’?

Chicken Adobo
2 lbs. chicken thighs or legs
3 Tbsp. olive or coconut oil
8 cloves of garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/3 cup rice or cane vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup water or broth
2 cups rice ( I use brown rice)
4 cups water or broth
2 tsp. salt
Saute´ thighs or legs just until brown on both sides.
Put in oven proof pan.
Mix rest of ingredients together and pour over chicken.
Put in 350º oven and bake until tender.
Leave the lid off and the broth will thicken and make a nice thick gravy on the chicken.
Serve over rice.
