Chicken Adobo sa Gata is a family favorite chicken adobo version next to the classic adobong manok. We like it because it is rich and yummy — very delicious!
Have you tried preparing this dish? If you haven’t, this recipe along with the cooking video below, will guide you from start to finish. If you are a beginner or an intermediate cook, this recipe is a good learning experience.
The first thing we will do is marinate the chicken in soy sauce, garlic, and crushed peppercorn. The minimum time to marinate is 20 minutes, but we recommend that you marinate the chicken for 1 hour if you have the time. This will let the chicken soak up the flavor thoroughly.
After marinating, we can begin cooking the remaining garlic. Add the marinated chicken then the dried bay leaves. Vinegar is next. At this point, we already have chicken adobo! Take it to the next level of flavor by pouring the coconut milk into the pot with the rest of the ingredients. This makes ordinary chicken adobo taste so much better!
