    Chicken Adobo (Cook’s Illustrated), This is a classic Filipino dish that Cook’s Illustrated researched and revised Chicken thighs are braised in soy sauce, vinegar and coconut milk I served with coconut rice and a salad The pre-cooking of the thighs releases a lot of fat that is discarded , Does the garlic need to be sliced, minced or rough chopped? Seems strange to add it just peeled , I have never seen adding peeled garlic to a dish without mincing or slicing it Is there an error?

    Steps

    Toss the Chicken With the Soy Sauce in a Large Bowl. Refrigerate For at Least 30 Minutes and Up to 1 Hour.

    2
    Done

    Remove Chicken from the Soy Sauce Allowing Excess to Drip Back Into the Bowl. Transfer the Chicken, Skin-Side Down, to a 12 Inch Non-Stick Skillet; Set Aside the Soy Sauce.

    3
    Done

    Place the Skillet Over Medium-High Heat and Cook Until the Chicken Skin Is Browned 7 to 10 Minutes.

    4
    Done

    While the Chicken Is Browning, Whisk Coconut Milk, Vinegar, Garlic, Bay Leaves and Pepper Into the Soy Sauce. (i Chopped the Garlic).

    5
    Done

    Transfer the Chicken to a Plate and Discard the Fat in the Skillet. Return the Chicken to the Skillet Skin-Side Down, Add the Coconut Milk Mixture, and Bring to a Boil. Reduce Heat to Medium-Low and Simmer Uncovered For 20 Minutes. Flip Chicken Skin Side Up and Continue to Cook, Uncovered, Until Chicken Is Done, About 15 Minutes (175 Deg F Internal Temp).

    8

    9
    Done

    Note: I Made Half the Recipe and Found That the Sauce Reduced Very Quickly. I Covered the Skillet After Turning the Chicken, but Still Had Very Little Sauce Left - More Fat. I Will Try Stirring in Some Cream to Make More Sauce, but Did not Do So This Time - the Chicken Was Very Moist and Flavorful. in Any Event, If You Do Make Just Half the Recipe, Keep Your Eye on It!
