Adobo came out tender and tasty. My Filipino wife said it was good and don’t change anything the first time, same 2nd time around. Included bone in split chicken breast this week, good but a bit dried out. I like legs n thighs…

I like this recipe and will try it again with chicken broth instead of water. Def recommend marinating it for 2+ hours

My husband wanted to try this filipino dish. As I looked at the ingredients it’s a touch different from my mother’s recipe. Still it came out pretty good. Will make again. Pairs well with white rice.

It was yummy! My family loved it! We like it saucy though, I'd double the quantity of everything for the same amount of chicken. :)

Great recipe. Very easy and doesn’t take too long. My whole family loved it. I did it once with chicken breasts and once with legs. Just reduce the time on the chicken cooking if it is not bone in like I did, and keep cooking the sauce, but great versatile recipe

Turned out excellent. Made a few tweaks, used brown sugar instead of white. Used balsamic vinegar. And used crushed chilli peppers.

Awesome: good with mashed potatoes, avocado, and pineapple.
Ingredient list isn’t in order that is used in recipe. Marinade is soy sauce and garlic only in directions, but later it states vinegar may be added. Lots of other variations are included in directions: lemon/ lime soda, lower temp/ longer cook time, etc.

Wow!!! I used skinless thighs. This is so good and quick to boot! I did add onions to the mix at marinating time. I served it over brown rice cooked with peppers wow!!!

It rocked my world
It didn’t have bay leaves so I substituted with oregano

I made last night and it was great! Added crush red pepper and sambal to the broth.
I pulled the chicken out after fully cooked and reduced the sauce because it was very watery. Added cornstarch slurry and shaoxing wine and white vinegar at the end.
Made this alongside some coconut milk, pinto beans, and brown rice.

So yummy. I didn’t change anything. I marinated the chicken pieces overnight. I will try boneless chicken thighs next time.

Don’t use whole peppercorns. You get none of the flavor and it’s just wrong when you get one in a bite. Other than that it was good, I added about a tablespoon of corn starch at the end and got a nice and thick sauce. Served with rice and roasted veggies!

It was tasty. I added some chili flakes, peppers, parsley and half an onion to the sauce. It was really good. The source wasn't thickening so I quickened the process with cornflour.

Delicious AND so very easy! Watch the video at the very end of the directions.

Yum! Easy to make, will make it again!

i added half an onion to this recipe but it came out great!!!

This was amazing. I let this marinate close to 14 hours.
The taste is mildly salty and sweet. I use part of the ingredients from the marination in the rice.
10/10

I went to a Filipino restaurant and was disappointed with the main dishes so I had to try making it myself. Glad I did use this recipe and it came out tasting better than the restaurant yet not as good as I had in the Philippines. I let the chicken marinate overnight. What I like about Filipino dishes, nothing gets thrown out and you just keep adding to the pan. There was more chicken but I ate it before thinking about taking the picture.
