Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Turn on the Instant Pot and select the SAUTE function, let it heat up for a few seconds. Add 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Add the chicken pieces and brown the chicken for several minutes, until lightly browned. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- In the same pot add the remaining oil and add onion and garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until the onion is soft. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, white vinegar, ground cayenne, and water. Stir well and scrape up any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. (this is called deglazing, and will help prevent the burn notice from appearing). Turn saute off.
- Return all the chicken to the pot in a single layer. Top with bay leaves and whole black peppercorns.
- Close the lid and turn the valve on top to SEALING. Select the PRESSURE COOK button on HIGH PRESSURE and cook for 9 minutes.
- Once the pressure-cooking cycle is over, allow to naturally release for 5 minutes, then release the pressure by moving the valve to VENTING.
- Open the lid and select the CANCEL button. Remove the bay leaves.
- Select the SAUTE button. Simmer the chicken Adobo for 5-8 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Select the CANCEL button.
- Serve chicken adobo hot with chopped scallions and rice.
Notes
