Very filling and authentic!
I have a Filipino friend that makes this and this is so close to hers. I believe she uses all the same ingredients. It tastes amazing.

Delicious! I used boneless skinless thighs and added a teaspoon of powdered ginger (all I had). Once the chicken started cooking I added 2 dried peppers amd a diced Vidalia onion which added some nice flavor. The family loved it!
First, I like to brown the chicken (with no liquids) then add the marinade to it. In the marinade, I put slivers of ginger. Yummy to my tummy!
Have been making this recipe for a while now and my whole family loves it from the 5 year olds to the 68 year old I couldn’t ask for an easier more delicious recipe
I plan to prepare this recipe tomorrow on my Filipino husband’s birthday! I want to be sure I understand….after marinating, I am to cook the chicken IN the same marinade? Is that correct? Please someone who knows, please respond asap. 🙂
Just like my mom’s adobo! I may try the different variations, but this recipe tastes too much like my Nanay’s adobo. It’s very comforting!
I really did love this and it was my first-time ik I may sound crazy but it does go well with some ramen
I add brown sugar and fruit soda when cooking adobo
