For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in the adobo sauce for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator before simmering. Adjust the amount of honey to your liking. If you prefer a less sweet adobo, reduce the honey to 2 tablespoons. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can broil the chicken in the oven for a similar effect. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with foil and broil for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned. Leftover grilled chicken adobo can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Create the Adobo Marinade: In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the soy sauce, water, vinegar, honey, minced garlic, bay leaves, and black pepper. Stir to ensure the honey is dissolved.
03 Step
Recipe View Simmer the Chicken: Bring the marinade to a boil over medium-high heat. Gently place the chicken thighs into the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the chicken simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through.
04 Step
Recipe View Reduce the Sauce: Remove the chicken from the pot and place it on paper towels to drain. Discard the bay leaves. Return the remaining sauce in the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the sauce has reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, becoming slightly thickened. This will intensify the flavors. (15-20 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and slightly crisp. The grilling process adds a smoky char that complements the adobo flavors beautifully.
06 Step
Recipe View Serve: Serve the grilled chicken adobo immediately, drizzled with the reduced adobo sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, if desired. Serve with steamed rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
