Chicken Adobo, Adobong Ilocano

Adobong Ilocano
Chicken Adobo, Adobong Ilocano. Chicken adobo was always cooked with laya and lasona or ginger and garlic on our household and in my native province of Ilocos Sur. Of course there are countless variations of chicken adobo but that’s how I remember my aunt’s cooking at least. Since ginger and onion are two of the several farm products of Ilocos Sur it is widely used in adobong manok or any other popular Ilocano dish.

I also remember that my aunt used to saute the chicken first with the aromatic before adding the bagoong patis, sukang Iloco (use regular patis and cider vinegar as an alternative) and soy sauce. And slow cooked at low heat until the liquid turns to an oily sauce.

    thanks for the cider vinegar recipe. I've been trying to cook adobo for quite some time now and its always been too acidic. I didnt know what I was doing wrong. When I saw your recipe and the cider vinegar, I tried that and it worked! haha thanks! I didnt know cider vinegar could be a substitute for cane vinegar :)
