Chicken adobo made in the slow cooker, has tender chicken thighs in a flavorful broth.

Ingredients

  • 5 skin-on (bone-in chicken thighs)
  • 2 Tbsp. cooking oil
  • 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce (regular soy sauce will work fine as well)
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar ((can use apple cider vinegar))
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup white onion (diced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (left whole)
  • 3 small slices of peeled fresh ginger root ((or 1/4 tsp. ground ginger))
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 10-15 black peppercorns ((or 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper))
  • 1 bunch green onion (sliced - for serving)

Directions

  1. 1

    Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot add enough of the oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Brown the chicken on both sides. Add the chicken to the slow cooker.

  2. 2

    In a medium sized bowl whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, chicken broth and onion. Pour this mixture over the chicken. Or you can add everything to the slow cooker without dirtying a bowl, this works fine too.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic cloves, ginger slices, bay leaves and peppercorns on top of the chicken.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH 4 hours for without opening the lid during the cooking time.

  5. 5

    Remove bay leaves, and garlic cloves if desired.

  6. 6

    Serve chicken drizzled with plenty of the sauce out of the slow cooker and enjoy! Top with sliced green onion for flavor and texture.
