Directions
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?

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! |
