This recipe is great. Reminds me of my mom's adobo. I didn't add ginger or bay leaves. I cooked the chicken first, then halfway through browning the chicken I added some onion. Then added all the other ingredients. I don't know if it would've tasted better with ginger but this was the best adobo I've ever made. People who are new to adobo might find the vinegary taste a little bit strong. The other adobos I've had (my mom's and grandma's) don't use ginger.
