【Chicken Adobo】: Marinate chicken pieces with garlic, peppercorns, palm sugar, vinegar, and soy sauces, ideally overnight. → Sear the chicken until browned, then simmer it in the reserved marinade, covered, for about 35 minutes. → Turn the chicken, and continue to simmer (partially uncovered) for another 25-35 minutes until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce reduces to a thick glaze. → 【Chicken Adobo Potstickers】: Shred leftover adobo chicken and mix with sliced cabbage, green onions, and adobo glaze to create a filling. → Fill and pleat gyoza wrappers. Pan-fry the bottoms until golden, then add water and steam for 3 minutes to cook through.

Analyzing cooking steps...
Using bone-in, skin-on chicken is crucial for achieving the best flavor and a moist, tender result.
Marinating overnight is highly recommended for deep flavor, but you can marinate for just 2 hours if short on time.
When searing the chicken, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which is key to getting a good brown crust.
Don't discard the leftover adobo meat or glaze; they are incredibly flavorful and perfect for repurposing into delicious potstickers.
The host recommends using Silver Swan brand soy sauce for a more authentic Filipino adobo flavor.
