Why Grilling Makes Cooking better!
Chicken Adobo one of the most iconic Filipino dish's known for its tangy and savory flavors is a classic comfort food. Traditionally simmered in a sauce of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and spices. This dish has a rich deep flavour profile which makes it perfect for the grill.
So if you want to elevate your Chicken Adobo to the next level I would 100% recommend trying it on your grill I use a hibachi grill. The open flame and smoky aroma add to the unique flavour that transforms this beloved dish into something extraordinary.
The hibachi grill’s charcoal or wood embers add a smoky, slightly charred taste that deepens the umami notes in Chicken Adobo. The natural sugars in the soy sauce and marinade caramelize over the high heat, creating a delightful and slightly crispy crust on the chicken.
While the intense heat sears the meat quickly, locking in juices and ensuring each bite is tender and flavourful.
Grilled meats develop a beautiful charred exterior that enhances the overall texture and flavour.
1 kg chicken thighs or drumsticks
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup Apple Cider vinegar
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, cracked
1 Brown Onion
Combine the ingedients in a large bowl. Add the chicken, ensuring it’s fully submerged in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is best to let the flavours penetrate deeply.
Set up your hibachi grill with hot charcoal. The coals should be glowing red with a thin layer of ash perfect for grilling. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
While traditional Chicken Adobo is fully cooked in its sauce you can continue to based your chicken while cooking and rotating the chicken often to ensure an even cooking.
Grilled Chicken Adobo pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, garlic rice or you can go chips or salad I opted for salad while my partner and kids had chips. The smoky and tangy flavours of the grilled chicken also complement the dish.
The hibachi grill’s compact size and high heat create a focused cooking environment allowing you to achieve those desirable charred edges and smoky aroma effortlessly. Unlike gas grills the hibachi uses charcoal, which infuses the meat with authentic flavours you simply can’t replicate indoors.

You are a pro at cooking, Nice
I've shared a lot of recipes over the years I love cooking
Awesome
Thank you
Very nice! I love the huge chunks of garlic clinging to the pieces of chicken. I am of the opinion that there is no such thing as too much garlic. It's really good for your joints too I hear. I'm pretty sure that I sweat garlic and onions from my pores! That's a nice little grill you have there too! Thanks for sharing!
Garlic is one of if not the best things to put on food, I use it on everything. I love it
I'm with you there brother!
It's summer here in Australia so more grilling and smoking.
I'll be looking forward to it! We grill year round here. I might throw down a brisket with snow on the ground this winter!
The best!
