Adobo Chicken Wings
These Filipino Adobo Chicken Wings have all the flavors of Adobo Chicken but in the form of chicken wings. I first experimented with this because I didn't have chicken thighs at home, but now I think chicken wings will be my new go-to.
Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
- 1 ½ pounds chicken wings
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- ⅔ cup soy sauce
- ⅔ cup rice vinegar
For The Rest
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (divided)
- 3 cloves garlic (sliced)
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns (or 1 teaspoon ground black pepper)
Instructions
- Combine the chicken marinade ingredients in a bowl. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in a high-walled skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place it in a single layer on the skillet. Sear both sides until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining one tablespoon of oil to the empty skillet. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the reserved marinade, water, sugar, bay leaves, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar dissolves, and then return the chicken to the skillet.
- Increase heat to high, and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, turning the chicken pieces after 10 minutes until cooked through and tender. Serve immediately over rice.
Notes
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Fun fact: The vinegar flavor mellows out over time, making the chicken taste better the next day.
