Filipino Chicken Adobo

Chicken Adobo
Salty and tangy Filipino chicken thighs.

My version of chicken adobo is cooked with veggies, 
that is how my grandmother made it and I loved it. 

What you need:
8 chicken thighs or drumsticks (skin on)
1 c. vinegar
1 c. soy sauce
1 c. water
1/2 sliced yellow onion
2 potatoes cubed
2 carrots chopped
3 bay leaves
3 tbs minced garlic
2 tsp peppercorns

You can marinate the chicken in the sauce prior to cooking 
or just prepare it as is.

Prep:

*stove medium heat*

1. Add all ingredients to a large pot with a lid. 

2. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes.

3. Remove lid and allow to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes. Sauce will thicken, do not allow it to burn.
 Add water for desired consistency.

4. Serve with a side of steamed rice.
