I can never have too many quick chicken recipes in my arsenal\u2014especially the kind that come together in under an hour and don\u2019t require a grocery store run. That\u2019s why Chicken Doble, a five-ingredient recipe from Larry Godin of the Cheabeague Parents Association in Cheabeague Island, Maine, immediately caught my eye. With just a few pantry staples and minimal prep, it promises the kind of no-fuss comfort food that\u2019s easy enough for a weeknight but satisfying enough to serve to guests.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Larry Godin\u2019s Chicken Doble is a simplified, community cookbook take on chicken adobo\u2014the beloved Filipino dish known for its bold, tangy flavor. His recipe is featured in \u201cYankee Magazine\u2019s Church Suppers and Potluck Dinners Cookbook,\u201d a 1996 compilation of community-submitted recipes from New England, all tested by a team of home cooks.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What Is Chicken Doble? <\/span> <\/h2>\n

The recipe calls for kitchen staples for many home cooks\u2014chicken thighs, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and water\u2014and turns them into something rich and deeply savory. The 45-minute simmering time in the vinegar-soy mixture infuses the chicken with rich, tangy flavor while keeping the meat tender and juicy. It\u2019s the kind of no-fuss, one-pot meal that proves you don\u2019t need a long ingredient list to achieve flavor.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s a simple dish that couldn\u2019t be tastier,\u201d said the recipe\u2019s headnote. \u201cTry red wine vinegar in place of the cider vinegar for a change of pace, and serve with rice.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s unclear whether \u2018Doble\u2019 is a play on \u2018adobo\u2019 or a community-specific name, the flavor and ingredients align closely with classic Filipino preparations. Regarded as the national dish of the Philippines, chicken adobo is traditionally made by braising chicken in a soy-vinegar-garlic mixture\u2014often with the addition of other aromatics such as whole black peppercorns and bay leaves. It\u2019s served with white rice and fresh sides such as cucumber and tomato salad or steamed stir-fried veggies like bok choy.<\/p>\n

How To Make Chicken Doble <\/span> <\/h2>\n

Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs work especially well in this recipe\u2014even though original Chicken Doble recipe below doesn\u2019t specify a cut. Be sure to brown them before simmering to lock in flavor and give the meat a more tender texture.\n<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2 pounds chicken thighs, skinned<\/li>\n
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup soy sauce<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup cider vinegar<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Combine all the ingredients in a heavy 2-quart saucepan or Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot, and simmer for 30 minutes. Uncover, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer for another 15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Serve hot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \n
      • Double the liquid.<\/strong> Like chicken adobo, the sweet-salty sauce is key to this dish. Double the amount of soy sauce, cider vinegar, and water in the recipe to produce more for soaking into rice, noodles, or whatever you plan to serve it with.<\/li>\n
      • Use bone-in, skin-on chicken. <\/strong>Either drumsticks or thighs will work!<\/li>\n
      • Garnish with cilantro or chopped green onions. <\/strong>The herbaceous notes of the greens brighten up the dish.<\/li>\n
      • Serve with steamed jasmine rice. <\/strong>Mashed potatoes or crusty bread also make delicious sides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
