Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken thighs
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup White vinegar
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 pieces Frozen pie crust
• 1 piece Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or skillet, combine chicken thighs, soy sauce, white vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaves, ground black pepper, brown sugar, and water. Stir to combine.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 3

Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and let them cool slightly. Shred the chicken into small pieces using two forks.

Step 4

In the same pot with the adobo sauce, add butter and sprinkle in all-purpose flour. Whisk continuously to form a thickened sauce. Once thickened, add the shredded chicken back into the pot and stir to coat. Remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Place one of the frozen pie crusts into a 9-inch pie dish as the base. Pour the cooled adobo chicken filling evenly into the crust.

Step 7

Cover the pie with the second pie crust, sealing and crimping the edges. Trim any excess dough.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden-brown finish.

Step 9

Cut small slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy!
