Chicken Adobo Special

Ingredients:
1 kilo chicken
1-2 Heads Garlic chopped
1 Onion chopped
1 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Cup White Vinegar
4 Cups Water
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 pcs Dried Laurel leaves
Pepper Corns
1 tbsp Dried Basil leaves (optional)
Salt
Cooking Oil
4 Tbsp Mama Sita's Oyster Sauce (optional)

Chicken Marinate:
Paprika powder, barbeque powder, garlic powder

*I marinate my adobo with these powder. But the traditional adobo doesn't need this. So this is just optional.

Mamas Guide Instructions:

1. Marinate chicken with paprika, barbeque and garlic powder for 30 mins or more before cooking.
2. Heat oil in the pan to sautee garlic and onion. Cook it until slightly brown and translucent using low heat.
3. Add your chicken cuts and fry it for about 8-10 minutes.
4. Once chicken is slightly brown, it's time to add your sugar and oyster sauce. Stir it until sugar slightly caramelize.

5. Dilute 2 tbsp of water in 1 cup of white vinegar. This is too soften the strong taste of white vinegar. Or you can use other types of vinegar. Then pour it into chicken.

6. Do not stir the vinegar. Let it cook without stirring for 5 minutes.
This recipe is only from Mama's Guide Recipe.

7. Then add soy sauce and 3-4 cups water. Adjust water to your preference.

8. Add pepper corns, basil and laurel leaves. Simmer for 30 minutes.

9. Add salt to adjust taste.
