Whipped Chicken Adobo Braise

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: chicken thighs, olive oil, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the yellow onion and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the chicken adobo and let it whipped, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the garlic and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with cracked black pepper right before serving.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
