Sprite™-marinated Chicken Adobo

Adobo is a classic Filipino dish that has been passed through from generations to generations.
From the simple soy sauce and white vinegar flavor, people have come up with several ways to enhance and enjoy this all-time favorite dish.

In this recipe, I am going to show you how to make a chicken breast cut into a lovely sweet and savory adobo using a colorless, lemon and lime flavored, caffeine-free soft drink,Sprite™.

Sprite-marinated Chicken Adobo

Ingredients:

*For the marinate:

250 grams Chicken (Breast, legs, wings etc)

1 clove of garlic

250 ml or 1 glass Sprite™

1 tbsp salt

1 tbsp ground black pepper

4 tbsp soy sauce

3 tbsp white vinegar

*For the cooking process:

3 tbsp cooking oil

Procedure:

1. Mince 1 clove of garlic and dice or slice chicken (breast)

meat into 6 portions.

2. In a bowl, mix the garlic and the chicken together

with 1 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp ground black pepper, 4 tbsp 

soy sauce and 3 tbsp white vinegar.

3. Mix all the ingredients well.

4.Pour in 1 glass or 250 ml Sprite™ and mix them together.

5. Cover the bowl and let it rest for an hour under 

room temperature. You can also put these on the fridge overnight.

After an hour or marinating;

6. Strain the chicken off the marinate and let it dry. 

Do not discard the marinate.

7. Get your pan nice and hot and then pre-heat the oil

under low-medium heat.

8. Once the oil has been preheated and ready, lay in the chicken meat

and brown/fry them for 3 minutes per sides. 

9. Once both sides are done, pour in the marinate and mix it well.

10. Cover the pan with the lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

11. Check after 5 minutes and stir. The marinate should be reducing down

into a sauce. Cover again and wait until 2 minutes.

12. Check the sauce if has reduced well. Stir to prevent it

from burning. 

13. Taste for seasoning and check the consistency of the sauce.
14. If you are satisfied, turn off the heat and give a final stir.

Let it rest for a while before serving. We don't want someone else's tongue to get burn.

This is perfect for lunch or dinner.
