Chicken Adobo Recipe:
2.5– 3 lbs (1.5 kg) chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on for flavor; boneless skinless also works)
1/2 cup (120ml) soy sauce (regular or light; avoid dark soy)
1/3 cup (80ml) vinegar (Filipino cane vinegar preferred, or white/coconut vinegar)
1 1/2 cups (360ml) water (or enough to partially submerge chicken)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced or diced
5–6 cloves garlic, minced or smashed
3 bay leaves (fresh or dried)
1 tsp whole black peppercorns (or 1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper)
1–2 tbsp brown sugar (adjust to taste, or omit if using cane vinegar)
2 tbsp neutral oil (canola, vegetable, or avocado oil)
Salt, only if needed (soy adds a lot of salt already)
1 to 1.5 cups coconut milk (depending on how creamy you like it)
Chopped green onions or cilantro for garnish

    You know what, Marcus's expression tells it all. If he says it tastes good, it tastes really freaking good.

    Teach the people how to make some great garlic rice… That’s a great thing to have in your arsenal

    Thanks for putting up this video Sonny. Your Chicken Adobo looks delicious. Any chance of posting the ingredient list along with the ingredient portions? Thanks for all that you do.

    Just made it – amazing!
    And the sauce is indeed "banging" !! You can take the boy out of Britain, but you cant take the Brit out of the man 🙂
    Nice one Sonny, keep 'em coming. atb

    Great looking recipe but SO disappointed in you Sonny – where's the "You know I love you, and I'm OUT"? Have we done something to upset you!? 😢

    Instead of cane vinegar try out Filipino (Datu Puti or other) coconut vinegar or even better sub the vinegar for calamansi juice with about a spoonful of vinegar it removes any need for any sugar (which isn't in there in majority of recipes for this dish). Another great substitute for the vinegar is fish sauce but the islands of the Philippines that use fish sauce don't use vinegar or soy sauce in the recipe.

    My luck: Coconut anything makes me puke. I’m goin heavy cream & your other “secret”/best hack: a tbsp of Marmite, baby! 😮‍💨🤘

    I fell in love with chicken adobo on my first day in Angeles City, Philippines. Oct 1982. I’ve been cooking it the way I had it there. Someone had told me the southern regions use coconut milk. This version looks really good and I’m going to try it soon. Thanks, Sonny! You are the dude that can cook!
