      This is very much like a recipie I clipped from a magazine years ago. It was lost in a move several years later. Yes, I know, I should have put it on a card in my box. It is now. I'm thrilled to have it back. DH loves it, DD has negative comments every time I fix it. It's O.K. She gets sausage and eggs when we have it. I fix this usually once a week. I stock up on pork shoulder when it's on sale, but chicken is delicious too. I serve it with fruit salad and steamed rice with cilantro.

      Took a little longer than what the recipe said. The time probably will drop some with familiarity with the recipe though. It was good and filling and reminded me of some of the dishes that I had when I was in the Phillipines while in the U.S. Marine Corps. I missed the food, the people, and the customs. If you get the chance, visit the country. If you can't do that, enjoy the food. This would be an excellent first dish! Just count on about 15-20 more minutes than is listed for the first time.

      Very Good! This was my first try at it, and it came out great! It wasn't hard at all. Being raised in a half filipino family - it tastes very much like my mom's recipe! Next time, I'll cook it for my mom too and see what she thinks of it. =) Note: Adobo is better with a sweet flavor, so I added brown sugar to mine as a variation and it worked out very well!

      Variation, instead of vinegar use freshly squeezed lemon juice.

      I was disappointed with this. I felt the directions were a little vague, and the meat tasted bland to me. I added both the salt and potatoes. I browned the meat after cooking it. But, after cooking in water "to cover" the consistency was soup rather than "sauce," and the recipe didn't specify how to remedy this. It just wasn't what I was expecting.

      I just used this Chicken Adobo recipe tonight and wow 2 thumbs up! tasted exactly like my grandma's! yes, browning "raw" meat is a must for extra flavor, to the simmering pot you can also add a tsp. of patis (fish sauce) and a pinch of sugar adds balance. Thanks for the delicious recipe!

      This is a good and easy recipe. I marinated the chicken in the ingredients the night before and it came out tender and juicy. It is easy to make, I made with steamed rice, it turned out to be a very nice and filling meal.

      This dish was delicous! I marinated the chicken in the sauce for 2 hours before cooking it. Oh yeah, and i only added an inch of water in my Dutch Oven first. I cooked it for a total of 50 minutes. Everyone ate it up! I did not add the potatoes, b/c we served it over rice. Nor did i brown the chicken at all. It was tender and delicous!

      Thanks Mercedes--my husband is Filipino and taught me to make adobo but I never knew to fry it towards the end. We finally got the taste that he has been hoping for!

      Fabulous Mercedes! This is just like the Adobo that my Filipino friend Angelita makes. Thanks so much for sharing! Oh and I don't do the potatos but instead serve it on some Jasmine rice:) My favorite!

      Water and potatoes ruin the recipe. Typical adobo calls for about 3 or 4 times the amount of soy sauce, so in this case just a tablespoon or 2 of soy would be fine. The chicken should only be dark meat, I like skinless thighs and/or drums, and this makes a good amount of juice. Simmer a LONG time, anything less than an hour will not be that flavorful. Also, my mother-in-law adds a healthy sprinkle of paprika which is quite tasty.

      I usually buy a packet from the commissary to make this but I was craving it one night and didn't have any so I tried Zaar and found yours. This tasted just like what I was craving. Nice and tangy. I too brown the meat first and it came out perfect. Easy to make with on-hand ingredients. Thank you for posting.

      Tried this, forgot to rate it. I also left out the potatoes. I was serving it over rice, it only made sense not to use two carbs. Nice tangy flavor. The amount of garlic was not overwhelming. Made this in the crockpot using boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Extremely easy and tasty. My coworkers mistaken thought one of our Filipino coworkers brought this in.

      this was SOOOO easy and SOO delish. i boiled and simmered it the night before i wanted to serve it, and reheated. no pan frying and it was fine... i tripled the recipe for guests so i had to makeshift some of the proportions but i dont think you can mess up this one. i didnt add extra salt, and i did add some potatos...i also added about a half of an onion very thinly sliced toward the end and just mixed them it. YUMMY. oh, i used half white vinegar, half apple cider just because i wanted to experiment. i saved all the extra broth and froze it for the future. thanks delish and simple

      Loved the amounts suggested in the ingredients. Left out the potatoes though, my Filipino Lolas never put potato in their adobo but that was a regional choice.

      the best way to get a really good flavor out of any meat that you put into this is to leave the meat in the soup while it is cooking. i know that it says to take it out, but if you leave it in there until the soup is almost half gone, then the flavor really gets into the meat. coming from a filipino background and growing up with this dish, i love it. that was how my mother used to make it. and over white rice, it is so good. hopefully this will help some of you who were disappointed with the dish
