Ingredients

3 pounds chicken bone-in, about 6 pieces
6 cloves garlic peeled
3 pieces bay leaves
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
2 Tablespoons turmeric powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup canned or fresh coconut milk
1 cup organic chicken broth
1 whole red or green bell pepper sliced, seeded red bell pepper
2 Tablespoons organic virgin coconut oil
boiled rice for serving

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, marinate the chicken with garlic, bay leaves, vinegar, black peppercorns, turmeric powder and salt. Place all these in a resealable plastic bag. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
In a large, deep stockpot, over medium high heat, place the chicken and marinade. Add the coconut milk, chicken broth, red pepper slices.
Bring the mixture to a boil. Then lower heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 55 minutes or till chicken is cooked completely and no pink parts are visible.
When chicken is cooked, remove from stockpot. Separately, in a large skillet, add the coconut oil. When oil is hot enough in about 1 to 2 minutes, add the chicken pieces. Braise the chicken till the pieces turn golden brown for about 7 to 8 minutes.
Pour the adobo sauce from the stockpot on the braised pieces. Serve Adobong Dilaw garnished with the bell pepper slices and rice.
