HOW TO COOK CHICKEN COKE ADOBO

Cooking chicken coke adobo share the similar steps on making the classic chicken adobo. The only difference is the sweetener used in this recipe will be the coke or the coca-cola. The cola has a distinct caramel sweetness which can give a unique layer of flavor for the chicken adobo. Who would have thought that cola goes well with chicken?

Prepare your chicken pieces. There are no rules in choosing a meat cut but the thigh and leg parts were the best to use in chicken adobo since they are much more tender and juicy compared to other parts. To ensure that our chicken would be flavorful, we are going to marinate it in a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce and cracked black pepper. This umami marinade will also be our sauce base for later. Marinate the meat for at least an hour or overnight for a more flavorful chicken. You can actually skip the marinating part if you are in a rush. Chicken easily absorbs flavors.

While waiting, prepare your potatoes by frying them until light brown and then set them aside. If you have cooked chicken adobo before, the following steps would be familiar to you. Sear the chicken and then set them aside. Searing will also add chicken flavor to the dish. Transfer the chicken from the pan and sauté the aromatics. Make sure that you crush the garlic for garlicky goodness! Return the seared chicken back to the pan and sauté with the aromatics. Add the sauce base, the reserved marinade. Just add more peppercorns and bay leaves for a more powerful flavor. Add some water and a 200-mL bottle of coke. The magic starts as the chicken adobo simmers. The sweetness from the cola will slowly sip in the chicken and will enhance the sauce. After simmering, add the fried potatoes. Coat them with the nice and sweet sauce and you’re basically done. Do a last set of simmering and you can now transfer the chicken coke adobo in a serving dish. Make sure to prepare a whole lot of rice! Enjoy!
