What is Chicken Adobo?

hi there. i am from the philippines.:) i would like to describe what chicken adobo is for you but i have seen that there were already people who posted recipes for you. :) well, i would just have to say that when you come here to the philippines, try to eat chicken adobo not in restaurants, not in ritzy dining spots, but eat it in "carinderias" or those little food stalls, because they taste a lot more like home. :)

Hi mean_queen! I'm from the Philippines and Adobo is one of my favorite dish! But not chicken adobo, I prefer pork adobo. You should try it if you happen to visit here. You can try to make this at home also, it's better home made. One of the members posted the recipe, so you could try it. :)

chicken adobo is basically chicken cooked in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, onions, pepper, etc. abodo is what filipinos are good at cooking. we mostly love adobo... can be pork, fish or chicken. and wherever you go here in the philippines, you can find good tasting chicken adobo. my boyfriend who is a foreigner loved my adobo so much. he even asked about how i cooked it. and one day when we are together forever, i will cook adobo for him most of the time.

bebot means lady, girl, woman. i like to think of it more in the terms of an attractive woman. chicken adobo is a filipino delicacy wherein the main ingredients are chicken and vinegar. spices like garlic, onion bulbs, black pepper, laurel leaves are added in. whenever i cook this food, is sautee spices and i add some hot chilis and ginger. this is really very simple to do but it tastes so great. if one will use pork instead of chicken, one will have a pork adobo. chicken and pork adobo also tastes great. this is where both chicken and pork are being used at the same time in a single recipe/dish.

My son-in-law is Phillipino and I looked forward to every time they come to visit or we go visit them, he knows I'll want him to make it, I've never watched him I know it has chicken and potatoes and Adobe seasoning in it, and served over rice. All I do know is it is soooooo goood! He was home (he's serving in Iraq) in March for two week leave, and they came to visit for a week, and yep, I had him make it! lol He loves making it though.

I am happy that you are interested in our chicken adobo. It's actually a simple dish that I assure you, you will enjoy greatly. When I was little, my mom sends me to the store to buy the what-would-be sauce. It can be cooked several ways, some people like theirs with a lot of sauce, and some (like me) like it dry. Any way you cook it, it's still satisfying. Here's the simplest Adobo recipe (if you want mom's cooking) chicken or pork (or combination) 1/2 part soy sauce and 1/2 part vinegar (depends on how much sauce you want) pepper corn and bay leaf. Mix all ingredients and boil until meat is cooked. It's that easy! If you feel that it's too salty you can add either vinegar or water. my nieces like it with a dash of sugar and hard boiled egg. Hope you get to try this dish.

This is a recipe for chicken adobo Ingredients 2 pounds Chicken pieces 1/2 bottle White vinegar or cider vinegar 1/2 bottle Soy sauce 3 Bay leaves Garlic, minced or powder Onions, minced or powder or dried Juice of 1-2 lemons Pepper to taste Water Preparation Rinse chicken pieces and place in large pot. Add vinegar and soy sauce to your own personal taste (I like it strong and use more vinegar than soy sauce)...I'd recommend at least half and half. If the chicken is not completely covered with sauce add water to cover...there should be more sauce than water. Add bay leaves, garlic to personal taste (again I put A LOT!), onions to taste, lemon juice and pepper. Bring to a boil, allow to simmer approximately 1-2 hours and then serve with rice. Sorry there's not a specific recipe, but you're nose will tell you when the mix is right! :) Freeze in ziplock bags with sauce. thaw in refrigerator. Reheat in sauce until bubbly.

Chicken adobo is one of the dishes Filipinos love to eat. Its really delicious and i hope one day you would be able to try it.

hello mean_queen, i see that a lot of co-pinoy here already described to you what a chicken adobo is. it is really a very tasty filipino dish. and you're right homemade is the best. you can also find it serve at the table during fiesta celebrations. but in my home i often cook it for my kids because they love it. By the way "Bebot" means "girl".

mmm um! yum! one of my favorite filipino dishes is Chicken Adobo... And you can tell it taste good from its aroma! You have got to try it! And you have got to try my mom's adobo its divine! lol you'll completely forget your name and who you are after tasting it lol

well too bad i cant actually post a picture of chicken adobo in my response. however, chicken adobo is a common dish in the country. it can be chicken or pork or both... it is slow-cooked in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and black pepper... different regions in the country have different ways of cooking it and also have some added ingredients.. i actually dont know what resto serves the best adobo, since its quite common that every household have this in their dining table.. but im sure filipino restos like kamayan serve adobo, and other philippine cuisines...

chicken adobo is filipino food. very yummy food saute the garlic to chicken any part of chicken and put soy sauce and vinegar a pepper to taste until the chicken cook so ready to eat
