Chicken With Sprite Recipe

Chicken With Sprite Recipe is a very simple yet tasty recipe.The taste of the spices blended with the tender chicken pieces simply tastes out of the world. In this post, I am sharing a simple tasty recipe that is actually from my native place in India but has become an Indian or world wide favourite.

Sprite Chicken Adobo

The simple but traditional Filipino dish chicken adobo. In Filipino cooking, the flavors of soy sauce, vinegar, peppercorn, and bay leaf are quite common. There is no denying why adobo is so well-liked by many; it is garlicky, sweet, and delicious. It can make any place feel like home and is ideal to serve over a bowl of warm rice. It’s the ideal meal for lunch, dinner, or even leftovers for breakfast. Even adding an egg to your dish is an option; delish!

The Philippines are the origin of the adobo cooking technique. When refrigerators weren’t yet a thing, folks back then used a lot of vinegar to preserve or cook their meats and shellfish. This aided in the preservation of these proteins during storage. Adobo has developed into a meal that we are all familiar with and enjoy throughout time thanks to the addition of soy sauce and garlic. The adobo cooking technique can be used to prepare a wide range of foods. Pork belly, adobong kangkong, and adobong pusit are a few other well-known adobo varieties. But one of the most popular and delicious recipes out there is still chicken adobo!

Many Filipino homes would already be familiar with how to prepare this delectable dish. You simply need one saucepan to combine and toss all the ingredients in this delicious one-pot recipe. It’s up to individual taste if they add items like potatoes or chilis to their adobo.

But now, we’re offering Sprite Chicken Adobo, a fresh kind of cooking technique you might not have seen before or only seldom!

Yes, Sprite, just like the well-known lemon-lime soda!

Since quite some time, people have been preparing their meat in various soft drinks. Coca-Cola and Sprite are two extremely sugary sodas that are perfect for replacing sugar in recipes! Sprite Chicken Adobo, for example, combines your favorite traditional flavors with the sweetened flavor of soda. The soft drink can also speed up the process of slightly tenderizing the meat in your recipes.

Sprite Chicken Adobo is just as simple to prepare as traditional adobo. Although it just takes a little under an hour, the most of the time is spent making sure the chicken absorbs the delectable aromas. Naturally, the result is always worth the wait. It’s impossible for your mouth not to moisten when that juicy, succulent meat joins with the exquisite flavors and aromas of the adobo sauce!

Today, give this chicken adobo a try and serve it to your family and friends!

How to Cook Sprite Chicken Adobo, Step by Step

Almost all chicken adobo recipes call for the same components, including Sprite Chicken Adobo. Of course, you’ll need chicken, but you’ll also need soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Two glasses of Sprite are an added element this time, though.

By chopping your 1 lb. of chicken into serving pieces, you can get your kitchen ready for cooking. The fantastic thing about chicken adobo is how versatile the recipe is. Any chicken part can be used, and the dish will still be excellent! The chicken thighs, drumsticks, and breast are my favorites.

Then you’re ready to begin cooking after crushing your garlic cloves and drying your bay leaves.

In a pot, heat 3 teaspoons of cooking oil. Garlic should be sautéed until it turns a lovely brown color after being smashed. Add your chicken next and continue to sauté it. Before adding your next ingredient—soy sauce—the exterior portions should have a light brown color. Allow the sauce to simmer with the chicken and garlic for two minutes.

Your two cups of Sprite should be added at this point. Along with your 4 tablespoons of vinegar, add this. Your chicken adobo should boil.

Your bay leaves and peppercorns would be the final ingredients to add. After that, put a lid on the saucepan and cook the Sprite Chicken Adobo for 45 minutes. Your chicken is now soaking up every mouthwatering flavor of the adobo sauce. You don’t want to overcook or over-toughen the chicken, so set your heat at low to medium. If necessary, add water to make your chicken adobo a bit saucier.

Your Sprite Chicken Adobo will be ready once 45 minutes have passed. Put your food in a bowl for serving at the table. Your chicken adobo will be a hit if you serve it with hot, freshly cooked rice and a tasty beverage.

A straightforward meal that has gained popularity in the Philippines for many years is chicken in Sprite. There are numerous online variations of it with varying components and recipes.

Chicken Marinade

This wonderful (and incredibly simple) chicken marinade is always praised by everyone. You can make the ideal marinade with only a few basic ingredients, which is great for grilling in the summer or even baking in the oven during the winter months.

Serve marinated chicken with any side dish from a barbecue, such as Fresh Corn Salad, Cowboy Caviar, Tuna Pasta Salad, etc.

This dish would undoubtedly be classified as TOP SECRET if I were one of those recipe snobs who kept their preferred recipes under lock and key. However, the fact that it is such a treasured family recipe makes me even more eager to offer it here! It’s without a doubt my all-time favorite chicken marinade recipe, I can say that with complete certainty.

Chicken Marinade Ingredients:

• Soy sauce: a great flavor enhancer in marinade recipes. I use it in my steak marinade as well.
• Oil: Use canola or vegetable oil, which also help flavor the meat.
• Sprite: Adds sweetness and helps to tenderize the meat. 7-up would also work well.
• Garlic powder
• Horseradish: It may sound like an interesting ingredient, but I promise it wont make the chicken “spicy” at all–it just adds depth of flavor that blends perfectly with the soy sauce and the tang of the sprite.

How to Make Chicken Marinade:

1. Choose type of chicken:

• Chicken Breasts: To guarantee more equal cooking whether using a grill or stove, cut chicken breasts in half before marinating.
• I adore how quickly chicken tenders cook on the barbecue. The uncooked, marinated chicken tenders are frequently threaded onto skewers and cooked on the grill in this manner.
• Chicken thighs: Keep the skin on while grilling to prevent and preserve the moisture of the chicken. After the chicken has finished cooking, pull off the skin if you don’t like to eat it.

2. Marinate: whisk together marinade ingredients in a bowl of plastic bag.  Marinate chicken for a minimum  of 30 minutes and a maximum of 3 hours for chicken tenders or 6 hours for breasts and thighs.

3. Choose your cooking method: 

• On the Grill: First, oil your grill by soaking paper towels in canola oil and spreading oil on your grill grates.  Place chicken on medium hot grill (not hotter than 450 degrees F to avoid drying out the chicken) and cook until chicken reaches 165°F.
  • Cook chicken tenders for 4-5 minutes per side
  • Cook chicken breasts for 7-8 minutes per side
  • Cook chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes per side
• On the stove: Grease your skillet or grill pan and heat it to medium high heat.  Let excess marinade drip off chicken before placing in pan. Cook until chicken reaches 165°F or:
  • Cook chicken tenders for 3-4 minutes per side
  • Cook chicken breasts for 9-10 minutes per side
  • Cook chicken thighs for 4-5 minutes per side
• Baked in the Oven: Place chicken in a shallow baking pan and bake at 400°F or until chicken reaches 165°F.
  • Cook chicken tenders for 15-20 minutes
  • Cook chicken breasts for 25-35 minutes
  • Cook chicken thighs for 50 minutes

4. Serve:

• Add it to a salad.
• Make it a Chicken Bowl.
• Use it in a a Buddha Bowl.
• Top it with Mango Salsa.
• Serve with Roasted Vegetables , Fresh Corn Salad, Rice Pilaf or Fresh Fruit Bowl.

Make Ahead And Freezing Instructions:

To make ahead:  Depending on the sort of chicken you pick, marinate it somewhere between three and six hours beforehand. Place the chicken in the refrigerator to marinate, then take it out 20 minutes before cooking to let it come to room temperature.

To freeze:   In a ziplock bag, combine all the marinade ingredients. Shake the bag to combine the contents. After that, include the raw chicken in the bag, then put it in the freezer flat (it will be easier to store this way). Thaw in the refrigerator over night before using.
