This dish is our take on a Filipino classic. Chicken is browned then braised in a flavorful liquid of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and black pepper with a dash of brown sugar for balance, although the ratio of ingredients can vary from cook to cook. We added collard greens for a built-in side dish. For quicker prep, pick up bags of washed, chopped collard greens in the produce section.

Olive oil

2 tsp(s)

Uncooked skinless boneless chicken drumstick

4 item(s)

Instructions

  1. In large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with ½ tsp pepper. Add chicken to pot in two batches, cooking until browned on both sides, about 8 minutes.
  2. Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, ⅓ cup water, and remaining ½ tsp pepper and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 15 minutes, turning chicken occasionally.
