Adobo Chicken with Ginger

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken , 3 pound
• 0.75 cups distilled white vinegar
• 0.5 cups soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh ginger root
• 0.5 tablespoons black peppercorns
• 1 bulb garlic , peeled and crushed
• 2 bays leaves

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine chicken, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, peppercorns, garlic, and bay leaves in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, basting chicken occasionally with the sauce.

2. 2

   Remove the lid and continue to simmer until liquid has reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

3. 3

   Transfer chicken to a serving plate. Strain liquid from the pot to remove bay leaves and other solids.

4. 4

   Serve chicken hot and drizzle with strained sauce.
