Adobo chicken, what is it?

Hi Hatley - apparently there are a variety of recipes for this, but someone not too long ago did a discussion about the recipe. There is at least one recipe there plus links for others. It doesn't look too hard to make. But, it is different than Spanish Adobo (like Goya makes), so don't borrow from that unless the recipe uses the same item. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1943672.aspx Your table mate should be able to tell you how hers differs from the one here. Enjoy!!

I think that adobo chicken is easy to prepare. Just chop those chicken into pieces and and seasoning like soy sauce, garlic, and some others that might be suggested by your table mate. Wow, I feel hungry as I read your post about how you enjoyed the adobo during your dinner. It might be a time where something will develop between you and your Filipino table mate...ha ha ha

It is filipino chicken stew cooked with some spices. I like the unique taste of this dish but have not tried my hands in cooking it. Wish someone could give the recipes of this filipino dish here.

I have heard of this kind of chicken dish before but I have never eaten it. I have no idea what it consists of. Glad you enjoyed it though.

chicken adobo is a popular Filipino dish--- really yummy!

Hi Hatley! Wow! you like "adobo"?! That is one of my favorite Filipino dish. Chicken Adobo is sure tasty and delicious. The chicken was being marinated or seasoned. Some put crushed garlic, soy sauce and pepper on the chicken and marinate it overnight. Others just cook it right away without marinating the meat (either chicken/pork). All you need to do is saute some garlic and onions in hot pan with oil. Then put the marinated chicken. Put some soy sauce and vinegar and simmer until it's tender. You may put some pepper and chili to taste. Filipinos have different style/way of preparing "adobo". But that's how it is done basically.

Chicken adobo is an excellent dish for sure. Besides maybe Ponsette, or lupia this is about my favorite dish for sure. I have not had Chicken adobo in a long time though. I do know it is a quite easy dish to make, and have watched people make it as I have some Phillapino friends but not sure what kind of special spices they use. You could always ask her how to make it.

i am a filipino.it's boiled chicken mixed with chopped garlic, vinegar and soy sauce. it is a delicious filipino cuisine. there are other old filipino dishes you night want to try with your filipino friend. sinigang na baboy, dinuguan, puto and a lot more. our dishes are mixtures of asian cuisines and more of chinese. enjoy!

There are so many ways to cook adobo (chicken or pork or both) I read someone says not soy sauce but if you ask a filipino soy sauce is one of the main ingredients. Anyway, it only shows that its really popular nowadays. If you want a simple recipe the ingredients are soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, onion, pepper (not grinned) water and salt(optional). Just mix all the ingredients and the meat put in fire until it cooks. I think for best result use more minced garlic (not chopped) that's what I like the flavor/aroma of the garlic in adobo.hehehe! Enjoy your adobo!

I already heard about your Filipino tablemate, Patsie. I am sure she knows a lot of Filipino dish that you will also like to try. And I am glad to hear that you liked our chicken adobo. Actually, you can also do the chicken with pork, so it will make even more tastier. And that will become, Chicken Pork Adobo.

Hi Hatley, I often cook my chicken like that but never knew what is was called, lol! I am always experimenting with my cooking but never give it a name, my hubby always ask what its called, I alwys reply back and say "you don't call it, you eat it, lol! Tamara

Adobo seasoning is a blend of salt, onion and garlic powders, black pepper, oregano and cumin. It's use as a dry rub that you generally put on your meat and let sit for a few hours or overnight to absorb the flavors. When the meat is cooked, it's usually slow cooked in a tomato-based sauce that may also have brown sugar in it. With the resulting combination flavors of salty, savory, spicy, hot and sweet...it really fires off all of your taste buds at once.

hello hatley! i'm glad to hear that you come to like that chicken adobo of your friend! well, that's a famous dish here in the Philippines & really simple to prepare. on my part, i just marinade the chicken with soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, a little salt, pepper, a little sugar(optional)...then boil it. after that i sautee garlic in separate pan , then add the chicken to fry it a little then add the remaining sauce...add, bay leaves & that's it... coz for me i like it with lots of garlic. but this is just my way & there's so many other ways to cook chicken adobo... you can also try this one... http://www.science.uva.nl/~mes/recipe/usenet/chicken-adobo.html good day! hope you enjoy some other Filipino foods as well...

hi hately, this is what Wikipedia says about it... Adobo is Spanish for seasoning or marinade. The noun form describes the marinade or seasoning mix. Meat marinated or seasoned with an adobo is referred to having been adobada. Adobo relates to marinated dishes such as chipotles en adobo, which are chipotle chili peppers marinated in a rich, flavorful, tomato sauce. Adobo is prepared in regions of Latin America, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Philippines and Spain. Pork, spices, and especially red pepper are used
