Twice cooked, making the Adobo a dry version, instead of the wet version swimming in sauce. :) Some like it this way, some like it with sauce. Try both!

  2. 2

    Drop smashed garlic around chicken.

    Cover pot and let it simmer for 15 mins.

  4. 4

    You’ll smell the aroma of vinegar, means it’s cooking off.

    Check chicken and flip to the side chicken where sauce has not dressed it.

    Add a couple tablespoons water, if it’s drying out, without stirring, and cover again. Cook 5 mins more.

  7. 7

    Fish out chicken and shallow fry in a non-stick pan with a little oil. Do this in low-med heat until looking seared.

    Set aside the pot with the remaining sauce and smashed garlic.

  8. 8

    When the outer of chicken looks done, browned and slight crisped, transfer to a serving plate.

  9. 9

    Fish out the smashed garlic from the sauce and drop in the same pan with oil you cooked the chicken in. Let if fry a bit in low heat.

  10. 10

    Arrange fried garlic on the plate.
