Savor the rich, sweet, and tangy flavors of Filipino adobo with budget-friendly chicken marylands for a delicious meal that hits all the right notes!
Ingredients:
  • 6 (about 2kg) chicken marylands
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) apple cider vinegar
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) light soy sauce
  • 55g (1/4 cup) brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 fresh bay leaves
  • 20.00 ml fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 18.40 gm vegetable oil
  • 1 brown onion, halved, sliced
  • 2 long fresh red chillies, thinly sliced
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) water
  • 62.50 ml green shallots, sliced
Instructions:
  • Cut the chicken marylands with a sharp knife to separate the drumsticks and thighs at the joint.
  • Combine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, pepper, bay leaves, ginger, and half of the garlic in a glass or ceramic bowl. Mix well. Add chicken and toss until evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
  • In a large, heavy-based saucepan over high heat, heat the oil. Remove chicken from the marinade, reserving it. Cook chicken in 2 batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Retain 2 tablespoons of the fat in the saucepan. Heat the fat in the pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, chili, and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the onion turns golden brown. Add the chicken back to the pan along with the reserved marinade and water. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Move the chicken to a large serving bowl or platter. Simmer the sauce over medium-high heat for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and garnish with the shallot.
