ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken pieces, bone-in

directions
- Bring to a boil the first 6 ingredients. Simmer for about 50 minutes until the chicken is tender and sauce is reduced by half. I simmered with the lid on for about 35 minutes and took the lid off the last 15 to let the sauce reduce.
- Add salt to taste. Serve hot with rice.

Just a little over 1 cup of liquid doesn’t sound like much for simmering 3 pounds of chicken is this recipe missing a step such as add enough water/broth to cover chicken? -
Is any particular type of vinegar recommend?

I haven't tried this actual recipe because the Chicken Adobo I've learned to make I don't measure, but I've rated it 5 stars because the measurements look about right. I recommend trying adding browned (caramelized) onions to this dish: brown the onions first then throw in everything else and cook. -
Extremely Easy to Make! Prep time is accurate...5 minutes!!! What a quick way to get a tasty dinner on the table after work. The flavors were perfect, although I did not add any extra salt due to the saltiness of the soy sauce. I garnished this with chopped green onions and served with rice noodles. Thank you so much for posting craftscout. This goes in my desperation dinner file. Sue -
Made it 4 times now, only once strictly according to the recipe all were good but following the recipe was great. p.s. l used Knorr’s liquid seasoning, rice wine vinegar and no extra liquid is needed.

very simple and easy, fast recipe. Definitely has a vinegary bite to it. -
Extremely easy to make. I did not add any salt just a large sprinkle of scallions. Very tasty.

we use knorr seasoning instead of soy sauce, try it, it really kicks it up a notch!

Fabulous dish! Even the people in my house who profess to hate vinegar loved this. I used chicken thighs and skipped the peppercorns because I didn't have them, just sprinkled on some pepper instead. It is also a fabulous low-carb dish for those who watch their carbs. I served it with steamed broccoli.

I'm a stay at home mom with two lovely children, a wonderful husband, and 2 hungry roommates. I'm an artist by avocation, and am working to being one by vocation as well. * grins *
Just to let everyone know, after a half hour discussion about it, the boys (DH and Roommate) have settled on ratings meanings. I reserve the right to bump up or down a half star a recipe based on the actual recipe and how easy it was, etc. etc.
I have to admit, it's been a couple of years since I updated this text and in the meantime, my picky picky DD has flowered into a girl who enjoys California rolls, will give almost everything a try, and in general much less picky than the average 7 year old in this area.
DS, at 2 and a half, asks for salad for lunch and then demolishes it. He's a weirdo. :)
We try to be very honest and very descriptive with our reviews. And I fully appreciate the same from people reviewing my recipes. Not every family will like every recipe, and sometimes what you didn't like about a recipe, another family will love! :) I also try to be as nice and polite as possible in my reviews. I don't believe there is any reason not to. The only thing that really upsets me enough to be mean is when a poorly written recipe forces me to have to clean my kitchen.
***** - "Scout is not allowed to make this very often because it is highly addictive and will be inhaled on sight!" Dump Cakes, Sweet Salsa Chicken and Wasabi Peanuts are in this category.
**** - "This is wonderful and we want to see it again fairly often, a new family favorite."
*** - "This is good. We woud eat it again without any changes, but it's not our favorite."
** - "We did not like this very much, but we would eat it again if served it. It would be good if some changes were made. This was really not to our taste."
* - "We would eat this again only with a lot of condiments to mask the taste."
no stars - Means that I want to say something, but don't wish to post stars. This does not mean it is worse than a one star recipe!! :)
I will only post public recipes that I have in fact cooked, and that my family has enjoyed - at least 3 stars on the above scale.
