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.

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!
