After originating in the Philippines, this chicken adobo recipe has spread out around the world. Some like the sweetening effect of lemon lime soda and some have never heard of it so we list it as optional.

Directions

  1. 1. Clean and cut the chicken into parts. Heat the oil in a dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the garlic and cook until it is lightly browned. Add the chicken and sauté until the chicken is browned, about three minutes per side.
  2. 2. Add the ground black pepper, whole black pepper cloves, bay leaves, soy sauce and vinegar; cover and simmer for 25 to 35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  3. 3. Taste and adjust the seasonings, it should be a bit tangy. You may add Sprite (or other lemon lime soda) if you prefer a sweeter taste, then let it simmer for five more minutes.
