Chicken drumsticks cooked in a tangy mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves.
Chicken or pork made in the «adobo» style is the national dish of the Philippines. Every Filippino family throws their own spin on this recipe which may or may not require marinating the meat and always includes some frying («adobo» means «frying»). In any case, it is almost surprising that such an easy-going recipe (nicknamed «Lazy Chicken») delivers such a tasty result.

Absolutely delicious. I will make again.
Pinoy Classic!!! You'll never go wrong with adobo. You can also fry the left over to have another dish....or BBQ in the summer! This recipe sure is authentic....reminds me of home! although the use of bay leaves is optional....some people don't use it at all
Absolutely delicious! I usually use chicken leg quarters rather than just drumsticks, as not everyone in my family will eat the drumsticks. This also reheats really well, so I usually make it the night before, put it into an oven safe dish wrapped in foil in the fridge, and then when I get home from work I just pop it into the oven for 20 minutes to warm up while I make some rice and veggies and it's a fast, easy, delicious meal. The kids love it, too, which is always a bonus.
One of our favourites - my husband loves the tangy salty of Asian cooking - this is a very popular dish in our household.
Good idea to pat the chicken dry - I didn't and had the hot oil splattering everywhere... Took the skin off the drumsticks which reduced the calories but also reduced the fat for the rest of the recipe. Very tasty dish - loved it. Served with rice and Oriental Broccoli Sauté from this site.
I've checked out this recipe with a Phillipine lady and she tells me it's authentic. REALLY delicious. My picky family loves it and it's looks great to serve.
+It's fast, easy, cheap and the sauce is very good. -But the look and texture of drumsticks are not very appetizing.
Produced nice and tender chicken. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I followed the recipe to the letter (except adding the peppercorns - since I didn't have any!) and the result was very tasty. Great for lunches too.
