Filipino Adobo Chicken Wings
Filipino Adobo Chicken Wings are a delicious twist on classic wings, featuring a savory, tangy, and slightly sweet adobo sauce. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or main dish, these wings are tender on the inside and sticky on the outside.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 6 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns crushed
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar optional
- Green onions chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Dry the chicken wings with a paper towel. If whole, cut into smaller pieces.
- In a bowl or zip-top bag, mix soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, pepper, and bay leaves. Add chicken wings and mix well.
- Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
- Heat oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Brown wings for 2-3 minutes per side (optional).
- Pour in the marinade and 1/4 cup water. Add brown sugar if desired. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping wings halfway, until cooked through.
- Remove lid, increase heat to medium, and cook for 5-10 minutes, turning wings, until sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
- Serve wings immediately, garnished with green onions if desired.
