This simplified version of a traditional Filipino comfort food was meant for your Multi Cooker (a slow cooker, pressure cooker and stove-top stand-in, all in one).
The pressure cook setting prepares it in no time and best of all, there’s only one pot to clean up.

Multi Cooker Chicken Adobo
Ingredients
- 4 chicken legs thighs and drumsticks separated
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup soy sauce

- 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar
- 5 garlic cloves smashed
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 large yellow onion sliced
- 2 scallions sliced

Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients.
- Season the chicken legs generously with salt and pepper. Turn tour multi cooker to the high saute setting. Add the oil and once it's shimmering, but not smoking, add half the chicken pieces and brown on both sides, about 7 minutes. Remove with tongs to a plate and brown the remaining chicken pieces. Return all the chicken to the multi-cooker and add the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, onion and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid and turn multi cooker back to the high saute setting. Let the sauce come to a boil and reduce it until dark brown and very fragrant, about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
