My mother is quite adamant that this recipe isn't adobo. She may be right. My wife liked it, though, so adobo or not, it's staying on the menu.

Steps

1 hour 15 min

1

Trim any loose skin and as much fat as you can from the chicken thighs. Otherwise, the sauce will be a pool of grease.
2

Put all the ingredients except for the honey into a baking dish. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
3

Put a large non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Drain the chicken and put it in the pan skin-side down. Let fry for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over and let fry 5 minutes on the other side.
4

Add the marinade to the pan along with enough water so the liquid comes about halfway up the chicken. Let simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the chicken.
5

Stir the honey into the sauce and let reduce until there's only about 1 cup left. Return the chicken to the pan and toss to coat. Plate the chicken. Strain the sauce and serve it on the side with some freshly steamed rice.
