Total Time: 2 hr 57 min
Prep: 5 min
Inactive: 2 hr
Cook: 52 min
Ingredients
Marinade:
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup light brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, crushed
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 dried bay leaves
12 chicken drumsticks
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons arrowroot
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 large limes)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
Lime wedges
Directions
For the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a 9-by-13-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the chicken over halfway through.
Place the chicken and marinade in a large, high-sided skillet or Dutch oven and add the chicken broth. Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 to 50 minutes, turning the chicken every 20 minutes, until cooked through and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the liquid and arrange on a serving platter. Discard the bay leaves and garlic cloves. Whisk the arrowroot and lime juice into the liquid and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the sauce over the chicken or serve alongside as a dipping sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro, if using, and garnish with lime wedges.
Slow Cooker Chicken Adobo

Total Time: 15 mins, plus 4 hrs cooking time
Makes: 4 to 6 servings
The ingredients that go into slow cooker Filipino chicken adobo depend on where you’re from, or how your mother or grandmother made adobo—it’s a source of heated debate. At the dish’s core is meat or poultry braised in a vinegary sauce. This easy, mild version cooks onions, chicken, soy sauce, and vinegar in a slow cooker, and takes advantage of bone-in chicken thighs’ extra flavor from the bones. The onions absorb the savory sauce, and all that’s needed to complete the meal is a pile of steamed rice to soak everything up.
Game plan: This recipe gets better as it sits, and can be made up to 1 day in advance.
Ingredients
4 medium yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced
4 medium garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 (5-inch) piece fresh ginger, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 bay leaf
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Steamed rice, for serving
Instructions
1 Place the onions, garlic, ginger, and bay leaf in an even layer in the slow cooker.
2 Remove and discard the skin from the chicken. Arrange the chicken in an even layer on top of the onion mixture.
3 Whisk the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and pepper together in a medium bowl and pour it over the chicken.
4 Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through and falling off the bone, about 4 to 5 hours on high or low. Remove and discard the ginger pieces and bay leaf. Serve with steamed rice.
