Step 1

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Brown all the chicken pieces in batches. This step is highly suggested for depth of flavor and to lessen grease accumulation over all. If in a hurry, simply place the chicken pieces in the slow cooker. Alternatively, you can use skinless chicken pieces to avoid the browning process.

Step 2

Mix together the vinegar and soy sauce. Place the browned chicken pieces in the slow cooker. Pour the vinegar mixture all over the chicken. Evenly distribute the garlic, peppercorns and bay leaves. If you don’t fancy picking out the peppercorns on your plate, feel free to replace with freshly ground pepper but adjust the amount to your taste preference (a teaspoon to begin with). Cook on low for 5-6 hours or until chicken is tender.

Step 3

For a slightly sweeter adobo, add the sugar to the vinegar mixture or towards the end you can also sprinkle the sugar all over and gently stir it in. Serve with freshly cooked rice. Can be made a day or 2 ahead.
