EASY! This meal had a wonderful tangy flavor. I reduced the soy sauce to 1/2 cup and added extra garlic. YUMMM....

I didn't care for this recipe. I used low sodium soy sauce and it was still too salty for my taste. The other flavors were a little "off" for me. Maybe it was the red wine vinegar. Thanks for sharing anyway.

I had always heard how good Adobo Chicken was, but never tried it. I thought this recipe would be a good place to start and I was right! I followed the recipe using some reviewers suggestions of reducing soy sauce to 1/2 cup, adding a bay leaf and using red wine vinegar. I served it with steamed brown rice to soak up the heavenly juices and a nice green salad. This was so good and a huge hit with my husband. He said this is a definite keeper and requested that I make often! I agree, and will make it often as it is so easy to prepare, tasty, healthy and an economical dish as well.

I've never had this before, but it sounded like a stir fry sauce I make. Used leg quarters and drumsticks because they were on sale :) VERY yummy. Having leftovers for lunch today.

Easy! Delicious! The only modification I make to this is I don't even bother to cut up the chicken. Otherwise, I make this exactly as written and we love it.

The soy sauce mixture was too strong for us,we could`nt even finish the meal.I have many Filipino friends and I know adobo does not get sugar or onion.Because my family and I love adobo I`m going to try it with less soy sauce and vinegar.Also add some water.I did add peppercorns though. think some more garlic would be good.

Maybe I'm just not an adobo person. This is the first time I ever tried it. It was good, but not excellent.

Being Filipino, I was somewhat skeptical about cooking adobo in a slow cooker. Much to my surprise, it was wonderful!!! First of all, the adobo smell does tend to linger in the house, so I set up the cooker under the covered patio. Using white vinegar does help with the cooking odor, but I only had apple cider vinegar. I did add a couple of bay leaves and about 2 tsp of black peppercorns. I love onions w/ adobo, so I used 1 large sweet onion, sliced 1/3-1/2" so it wouldn't disintegrate during the cooking process. I was running a little behind in starting the cooker, so I put it on high for 2 hrs then low for the last 4 hrs. Also, baste the chicken hourly, if possible. The chicken fell off the bone beautifully and it was not at all dry. Spoon the sauce onto jasmine rice and chow down!! My family loved it!

Made this recipe last night. No one really liked it. It didn't have any flavor and the chicken was dry. I followed other readers' suggestions about the bay leaves and that didn't help it. The chicken was in a broth that wasn't good on rice either. Won't make this one again.

I took the suggestion of one of the reviewers and used regular vinegar, garlic, and soy sauce. It cooked for almost 9hrs and came out way too salty but with rice it was fantastic. Next time I wont cook it as long and cut down on the soy sauce. Great recipe, simple, easy, will make again!!

This was very good. My mother made Adobo for us on special occations and this came very close to hers. I did use the pepercorns and bay leaves (so did my mother) I also added some lemon juice.

This was soo good, I ate until two helpings! I loved the sauce over steamed rice. My Filipino boyfriend said it's just like his mom used to make it. Although I did put in a bay leaf as he said it was the "secret." Meat was so tender it fell right off the bone! Thanks for this wonderfully easy recipe. Will make again for sure! UPDATE 2/4/08: As if this couldn't get any better...I tried this by frying the chicken for a couple minutes on each side in a little olive oil then added the rest of the ingredients right into the pan. Didn't measure the soy and vinegar, just made sure they were equal parts and put enough to cover the chicken. I added 2 whole jalapenos, 3 whole cloves of garlic, about a half of a sliced onion and about 3 bay leaves instead of just one. Simmered for about 45 minutes and this was even better than in the slow cooker and was just as easy!! Once again, great over sticky white rice. PS Use white vinegar! Also, I used Low Sodium Soy Sauce.UPDATE AGAIN 10/17/08:I used garlic powder instead of whole cloves because the next day it seemed kind of tart like when you overcook garlic. Didnt fry the chicken just dumped it all in the pan-just as good. *New tip* Thicken some of the juice with corn starch and it makes a wonderful sauce. Not so brothy and it mixes better with the rice. Boyfriend went nuts because he could smell it from outside when he came home, and again when he tried the sauce. Im going to use the sauce to make shrimp & veggie stir fry tomorrow since we

Wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, it tastes like soy sauce and onions to me. But I cut up the chicken and put it in a salad with my favorite Japanese Peanut Sesame Dressing (recipe from this site) and holy cow! So delish. So it wasn't a loss at all, just needed more to it to make it to my dinner table. Thanks for the easy recipe
