We loved this...well something like THIS anyways. I ran out of soy sauce (made a double batch) and used Worcestershire sauce *dont kill me* I think it gave the chicken just the right KICK so my DH did not say "Blah". He is a picky eater and if things are not just meat and patatos he has something to say about it. He loved this though! THX for the idea to work off of~

I was so excited about this recipe. I have two friends who are Filipino and I grew up eating this with them. It just didn't live up to it though. Even my dad who was in town and eats EVERYTHING said it wasn't that good. I don't know who will eat the leftovers. I used white vinegar, and did everything else, but the taste just didn't work for us. I will not make this again.

Great recipe! I followed it exactly and served with steamed short grain rice. My whole family liked it and my kids especially liked the sauce on rice (they are 2 1/2 and 1 1/2) Thanks for the recipe!

the first few bites were great, but it is SO salty that my husband and i couldn't even finish it! (which never happens). the chicken was nice and tender, but WAY too salty. maybe cut down on the soy sauce.

Definitely good! A solid 4-star. A few revisions will likely bump it up to a 5-star. Use a large yellow onion and not a medium sweet one for better flavor. I use a lot of sweet onion but not for adobo. Use a lot more garlic, a whole bulb is probably in order. Freshly grated ginger is another big plus in adobo, as much as 2 tablespoons. Use equal parts soy sauce and vinegar. Don't use regular white/clear vinegar, use apple cider vinegar, again for better flavor. No need to measure your liquids just use equal parts of both soy and cider vinegar, enough to completely cover the chicken. Other reviews of this recipe state that they might try boneless, skinless breasts. Don't! You'll have much better results if you use the whole chicken, both white and dark meat, skin and bones all combine for a superior adobo.

good, I think I might take down the soy sauce and add some hot spice of some sort - knowing that it will be less adobo then.

This is a very good recipe. I add chicken broth and make sure the chicken is completely covered and it falls off the bone every time.

Perfect! I didn't change a thing. It smelled wonderful all afternoon in the slow cooker and tasted wonderful that evening. So simple and good.

Too salty and too dry... If I were to try this dish again I would half the amount of soy sauce (or double the amount of vinegar) and adjust the cooking time by a couple of hours. I am a person that puts salt on everything and I can't believe how salty this dish is!! It was overwelming and I could not finish my plate.

Really good! I think I will use boneless/skinless chicken next time; the meat and skin/fat fell right off the bone, and was kinda to dig out before eating. Otherwise...delicious!

This was really easy and really good. I was a little hesitant about vinegar and soy sauce. But I used 2 onions, apple cider vinegar and the full measurements of soy sauce(despite reviews) and this was soooo good. The whole family had seconds and thirds. The flavor was sweet slightly tangy and not salty at all. Will defiantly put this in the regular rotation. Thank you!

Fantastic. I used boneless skinless breasts and thighs, added 1/8th cup brown sugar and 1/2T ginger. A major hit with my husband and kids (even my picky 10 y/o son who cleaned his plate!!). I will definitely make this again - not only did it taste fantastic but it made the whole house smell incredible!

Hmmm... I'm missing something with this one. It just tastes like chicken and soy sauce. I guess I was expecting a magnificent transformation.--Didn't get it. It was easy, that's good I guess. I don't think I'll be doing this one again.

I read all the reviews before cooking. The only things I did differently was I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and white vinegar. The dish was a hit. Both husband and grown son loved it. Hubby said he would eat it again.! Since there were no left overs, next time I'll double the recipe!! I served this over brown rice.

Adobo is a favorite with every Filipino family. I have a husband and teenage son who are both hearty eaters so I always add potatoes. Just cut them in halves or quarters (depending on cooking time). We always eat this over steamed rice with freshly cut ripened tomatoes on the side. Yummy!
