Easy Chicken Adobo

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 6 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 1 bay leaf

Preparation

1. 1. Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, then turn over and cook an additional 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
2. 2. Pour off all but 1 tbsp. of pan drippings and return pan to low heat. Add garlic and sauté until soft, about 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients and stir to incorporate. Return chicken to pan and cook, covered, for 20 minutes.
3. 3. Uncover, increase heat to medium-low and cook 15 to 20 minutes more, occasionally spooning sauce over chicken, until sauce thickens a bit and chicken is tender and nicely glazed with sauce. Remove bay leaf before eating.
