This was very good and I have made it quite a few times. I did tweak it a bit per many of the reviewers suggestions though; I used apple cider vinegar, low sodium soy sauce and added some brown sugar and water. I would DEFINITELY use low sodium soy sauce with this recipe. It was quite salty with the low so I can't imagine how salty it would be with regular.

Petnanny- Use water, this recipe is missing that and should be apple cider vinegar.
Afro2358- It may not turn out well browning the chicken first, but after an hour of marinating it should be ok.
My Filipino grandmother taught me how to make adobo with a slightly different recipe.

Used low sodium soy sauce, and added chicken broth after pork was done, due to vinegar taste.
I love vinegar, but won't make this again. Recipe calls for no water, which might help, although when sauce is reduced, it won't matter much.

I'm a African American now living in the Philippines (Lapu-Lapu, and i made this dish the other day,and i must say that this dish taste very good. I used Apple Cider Vinegar instead of white, and i used Brown Sugar, and added a 1/2 cup of water,and the smell of our house while it was cooking was heaven. When i do make again, i will brown the chicken in oil first to see how it taste.

I usually use a 2:1 ratio of soy sauce to rice vinegar.. also for a little change up, use apple cider vinegar.

I miss my mother's adobo, we are from Guam and this recipe totally reminds me of her cooking! I recommend using Kikoman low sodium soy sauce if your trying to cut back on saltiness..

This was insanely delicious! Apart from it being a slightly bit too sour, I thought it was perfect! Next time I'll use probably a little less vinegar to reduce the sourness. But, that's just my personal taste

As suggested in the reviews we added 3/4 c. of brown sugar, I think this is a necessity! We also added white onions in the mix and topped it off with some chopped green onions. And, we used chicken drumsticks and wings instead of thighs. I loved the chicken wings because it socked up all the flavor from the sauce. The drumsticks however didn't carry as much flavor inside the chicken, but with a bite of the rice smothered in sauce, it was acceptable. May be next time we'll marinade for three hours instead of one.
Otherwise we followed the recipe step-by-step.

Authentic. Delicious. Saving this recipe 4ever!
