 >   Variations:
 > 
 >   * While the sauce is reducing, transfer the chicken thighs, skin side
 >   up, to a foil-lined sheet pan. Brown the chicken thighs underneath
 >   the broiler for 3-5 minutes.
 >   * Use freshly ground black pepper instead of whole peppercorns.
 >   * For a drier chicken adobo, you can reduce the sauce until it is
 >     almost completely evaporated. The chicken will then begin to fry
 >     in its own fat that is still left in the pan.
 >   * For a saucier adobo, double the amount of soy sauce and vinegar.
 >   * To make this adobo as an appetizer, use 2 lb (1 kg) of chicken
 >     wings instead of thighs.

Here here's my version:

xcarol's ugly chicken

1lb bone in chicken, thighs optimal
3TB goya adobo seasoning
2-3 quarts water

Boil it for 3 hours or untl the skin easily lifts off.  That's cooks treat. 
Now boil longer if not easy to remove meat then remove thighs to a plate and
pick the meat loose.

It looks *fugly ugly* but tastes awesome! Eat meat cold from fridge, put in
softshell tacos with lettuce, onions and cheese and add onions and eat cold or
rewarm with added sour cream after nice and hot.  Make casseroles with it. 
Goes well in a stir fry.  Grace a salad with it!

Odd recipe I know but we like it.
