Chicken Adobo with boiled eggs

Chicken Adobo is an all-time favorite Filipino dish. My version is the world's best chicken adobo that has ever been cooked!

Ingredients
1 kilo (2.2 lbs) chicken pieces
1 cup mild vinegar (preferably dark cane or palm vinegar)
1 cup sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
1 teaspoon ginger, crushed
1 head garlic, crushed
3 dried bay leaves, broken in half
salt and pepper to taste (don't be shy!)
6 boiled eggs, shells removed
stalks of green onion, chopped for garnish

Method
Combine all ingredients in a pot. Cover lid and allow to boil over high heat.
Once boiling, turn the heat down to low and slow cook for 45 minutes.
Remove the lid and add the eggs.
Leave to boil for another 15 minutes uncovered to thicken the yummy sauce. Turn the eggs once in a while to even the browned skin.
Garnish with green onion.
Serve with boiled or fried rice.

Notes
Use chicken drumsticks or thighs for the best flavor. Remove fat but you can keep the skin if you give the chicken a little frying in the pan before slow cooking it.

Never, ever use cider vinegar. It will ruin the dish.

hmmm... interesting tip with the krispy kreme donuts... is this also available here??? 

[jamesbond]

i just don't know sir naruto if that's also  applicable in the Philippines... when i went to visit my family in Canada where Krispy Kreme originated, yeah its really a practice there... when their neon signage turns red they give free donuts to every person that walks inside their store, kahit gaano kadami at hindi paisa-isa unlike there na parang patikim lang ang bigay... anyway, masyadong matamis lang ang krispy kreme kaya hindi patok ito sa akin, mas okay pa ang dinuguan na maanghang at puto ng bulacan hahahaha... local taste lengya hahaha.... eh kung minsan kasi nasa utak lang natin ang mga brand na sikat not knowing na meron pang mas higit na masarap na pagkaing pinoy... btw, krispy kreme lately is closing some shops abroad especially in the USA, just like Starbucks... thanks sir...

Grilled Pineapple Chicken Foil Packets

4 boneless chicken breast cut into cubes
1 red bellpepper, chopped
1 green bellpepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks
1 cup teriyaki sauce
1 cup Asian Sesame dressing

Preheat grill. Lay out 4 large (about 24 inches long) pieces of foil. In a bowl whisk together teriyaki sauce and sesame dressing.

Distribute chicken, peppers, onions, pineapple chunks and sauce between the sheets of foil. Fold the sides of the foil over the fillings and seal shut.

Grill packets for about 10-15 minutes, turning over once half way through.

Carefully unfold packets and check chicken to make sure sure it is cooked through.

Garnish with cilantro and sesame seeds if desired.

Serve immediately.
