Family weekend, craving Filipino food
What'll satisfy me, what else but my favorite,
Chicken adobo, it'll sure get me in a happy mood
Let's combine chicken, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves
Some peppercorns and 1 cup water in a large kettle
Bring the mixture to a boil,
Simmering for 20 minutes, then let it settle
Add soy sauce and simmer the mixture for 20 minutes
Then move the chicken to a plate with tongs
Boiling liquid for 10 minutes, while my uncle's singing Filipino songs
Will it be done soon? 5 more minutes
Remove the bay leaves, letting the sauce cool down
Add oil to a skillet to sauté the chicken
Turning it over, waiting, until it is light brown
Place the chicken onto platters
Pour the heated sauce over it, and serve the chicken with the rice
Chicken adobo with family, it’s a good weekend and that’s all that matters!
