Step 2

In a large Dutch oven, warm the oil and annatto seeds over high heat until the oil is colored a deep red from the seeds, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Add the chicken drumsticks and thighs to the pot along with the vinegar, salt, peppercorns, and bay leaves, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid is reduced, about 45 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate and return the pot to high heat. Add the garlic and onion, and fry in the fat in the pot, stirring, until they turn golden brown and sticky in the sauce, about 15 minutes. Add the livers in an even layer and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, 5–7 minutes. Return the chicken to the pot and stir gently until warmed through and covered in the sticky sauce, about 3 minutes more. Remove the adobo from the heat and serve while hot.
