Hello there, Slow Cookerers!!

I hope you enjoyed your weekend!

This is a great twangy chicken dish -- it's crazy easy to throw together and it's one of those recipes that really benefits from a long and slow cook time.

In fact, if you have the time to do so, throw everything together the night before so the chicken can marinate in the yummy sauce mixture.

Chicken Adobo

serves 4 to 6

3 to 5 pounds of chicken meat (bone-in or out is fine, your choice)
1/4 cup soy sauce (La Choy and Tamari wheat free are gluten free)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
4 bay leaves
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
1 yellow onion, sliced in rings

The Directions.

Use a 6-quart slow cooker.

If you have the time to assemble the chicken in a plastic zipper bag with the salt, pepper, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar the night before, do so.

The chicken will be much more flavorful if left to marinate overnight. Then dump out in the morning on top of the vegetables.

Otherwise, assemble everything in the morning.

Cook on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 4-5.

This is done when the chicken is cooked through and has reached desired tenderness.

The Verdict.

The vinegar will really tenderize the chicken nicely.

I have made this quite a few times ---- and while you certainly can use a whole chicken or a variety of chicken parts, my favorite way is to use boneless, skinless thighs.

If you do opt for a whole chicken, or pieces with bones, please be aware of the bones when serving.

The meat will fall from the bones easily and I worry about the tiny rib bones, especially if serving children.

Enjoy your dinner!!

Happy Slow Cooking!!
