Looking for love? Bug Juice!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

That's what we call soy sauce in my house, and the only bug juice on our table is Kikkoman. Be sure to use this soyo, and... instead of just peppercorns, try using McCormick's Pickling Spice. Read the ingredients, and you'll know why you made one of the best dishes under Heaven! Enjoy, and God bless the Filipino!!Read more

Delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The way I learnt it was to brown the chicken first (I remove most of the skin for a healthier version) remove from cooking,... add the "marinade" of distilled vinegar, soya etc. (I have used the cider vinegar and it's good too but the white vinegar has the edge) + a little cooking oil. Also season to taste with brown sugar. I never added ginger, however that would be an interesting slant. Bring to boil and then low simmer for as long as possible until the chicken is tender tender and that fablous sauce has soaked into the bones. YUM YUM. Read more

my favorite filipino dish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Chicken Adobo is my favorite filipino dish. I was excited to find this recipe, because it was so simple to make! Everyone I... make it for loves it! Just make sure you take the chicken fat liquid out before you take it out of the pot. It will be less greasy and healthier.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Delicious!

I followed the recipe, however, I did cut up a fresh ginger root and added it to the pot as the adobo cooked. Then I took it... out when the chicken was finished. My son loved it!Read more
