Best Jimmys Adobo Chicken Recipes

JIMMY'S ADOBO CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine garlic, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and olive oil. Place chicken in a shallow baking dish and rub with marinade. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove chicken from refrigerator. Heat a large ovenproof saute pan over medium heat. Add chicken and saute, skin-side down, until golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer to oven, skin-side down, and bake 6 to 7 minutes. Turn and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more.
• Place a warm cachapa in the center of a large bowl. Spoon a little succotash over. Top with a piece of chicken, and drizzle with chimichurri sauce. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• Trim the excess skin and large lumps of fat from the chicken.
• Marinate the chicken pieces with the soy sauce and smashed garlic for 30 minutes.
• Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and pat dry. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Once hot, place the chicken legs into the pan, working in batches if necessary, and brown on both sides. When all the pieces are browned, add the bay leaves and cracked peppercorns and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Return all the chicken pieces to the pot along with the reserved soy and garlic marinade and add the chicken stock. Bring to a low boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until tender, about 40 minutes.
• When the chicken is tender, add the sugar and vinegar. Simmer another 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. The adobo should have a kick of vinegar but taste balanced. If desired, stir in some of the slurry to thicken the liquid into a sauce. Serve over steamed rice with a fresh grind of black pepper.
