Description

Try a savory and easy Filipino favorite. Chicken legs stewed until tender in soy sauce, vinegar and garlic that is grilled or broiled to crispy perfection.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3-4 lb (1.35-1.8 kg) chicken pieces (drumsticks and thighs)
  • 1/2 C (120 ml) soy sauce (see notes for gluten-free suggestion)
  • 3/4 C (180 ml) white vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tbsp whole peppercorns

Instructions

  1. Place chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken periodically in the cooking liquid.
  2. Remove the chicken from the pot and grill or broil for about 5 minutes.
  3. Serve with jasmine rice and stir-fried vegetables.

Notes

  • Be sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce if following a gluten-free diet.
  • I use San-J Tamari Gluten-Free Soy Sauce or La Choy soy sauce which is now labeled gluten-free.
