Great job! You make all Filipinos proud of their Chicken Adobo. I know you like the "SABAW" but I have tip for you....if you grab 5-7 tablespoons of the SABAW and add a tablespoon of cornstarch and boil it down some more...you will have this nice thick gravy sauce and a little bit or caramelization of the sugar that will be so good with rice ( I prefer Basmati). Try it and let me know!
I'm half Filipina and your recipe is straight up like what I grew up with. I just got my instant pot for Mother's Day. My kids don't like onions so I never had them like you did in your recipe. I love how easy you are to follow along with!
I love chicken adobo. My BFF's Filipino Mother, who didn't use the brown sugar. BUT, I'm going to try that this time in my Instant Pot! Thank you for sharing! oh yeah, she added potatoes!
Did this tonight. Had to use chicken breasts. Next time I need to use chicken thighs. Also, I doubled the recipe because there is 8 of us and made 8 lbs. it turned out to be more like soup. I think I would do 1.5 times the sauce instead of double or maybe not double the sauce at all. Gotta tweak it for next time. Even though the sauce was runnier it was amazing.
I'm definitely doing this recipe tonight. I haven't tried using instant pot in cooking Adobo but this is looking Damn! Eat it with Rice and a glass of Coke and there you're living! LOL
Great recipe. Try using coconut milk next time instead of brown sugar. And serve it with the jasmine rice, and a fresh banana on the side. Try it like that next time. You might like it.✌😎👍
Wow! I just made this tonight and it is so good! I've tried a different Filipino Adobo recipe in the Instant Pot before but your recipe tastes better and a lot easier! No more chopping of onions for me!! :)
Great job! Have you tried this with pork, or just pork? It's heavenly. I love how you seem to really enjoy the dish enough to make a video. Adobo is pretty much the national dish. I've done trial and error of the best adobo recipe for me, and I say for me because everyone has their own version that they love. I use one portion of vinegar, one portion of water and half a portion of soy sauce for the liquids. LOTS of garlic! Bay leaves and whole peppercorns with some ground too. I add some sugar depending on what I feel like that day and thicken the sauce with cornstarch. I will try it next time with coconut aminos because I've had trouble with soy sauce lately due to gluten issues.
FYI Tamari Soya Sauce is gluten free and so am I. Use it all the time. I also use coco aminos which is a bit sweeter tasting then Tamari. Tamari tastes just like the wheat version of regular soya sauce ☺️
Depending on what province there many ways to make adobo , chicken or pork , boiled eggs or potatoes. Pepper corns ect ect love it my moms from Manila so she makes hers very similar
Funny you mention that, when picking up my chicken I was talking to another lady on the Adobo recipe. She mentioned potatoes. I never had it with other than rice, so I thought she was pulling my leg. But I have boiled eggs added to it. So I stand corrected.
It's easy to use the instant pot, don't be too scared. If it helps, you can use a wooden spoon to release the pressure valve until you get comfortable.
I was a little intimidated, but sis sent me a video on getting started with Instant Pot - look for it on yt. I made pot roast with potatoes for first try - and am now loving it. Gonna try this one tonight.
you know what, you may have done the right thing not putting the garlic in the marinade. i marinate my adobo overnight minus the garlic. i notice that garlic loses much of its flavor over time. putting the garlic during cooking time makes the garlic flavor more potent and delicious.
Thanks find advice, but I like it add it in the beginning, if you are worried about it losing flavor ( or mellowing out) you can always add more before cooking. Thanks for watching!
Very good video, thanks, you explain very well and is pretty easy understand your English (is not my maternal language), you get a new subscription! :)
I agree with your way of making adobo but I use pickling spices instead of just bay leaves. My mother's recipe. I also use 1/2 cup brown sugar and saute the meat at the end of cooking to brown the meat and lock in the flavors.
Yeah, This looks great. One part vinegar and one part soy is definitely too salty for my personal taste but my pinay partner told me the same thing, add sugar to reduce the saltiness. She went further, (after I messed up a couple batches of adobo), by suggesting that I use only half the soy sauce that I think I need then taste test it when it's cooked and slowly add more. She might be wiser than I am. I like to add a little ground Annatto seed to the sauce to give it that drool inducing sunset orange hue like Chicken Inasal. Presentation can really fire off those taste buds before you even taste it. And, I really want to yell at you...what's your problem with that?
Can’t wait to try this! Question during the manual is it for 25 mins or 10? Info bar days 25 ! So sorry I’m trying to learn how to cook 😂 ty in advance
Hi Kuya! Love your videos and tips for using the InstaPot! I've been making chicken adobo for a long time. Cooking tip: use balsamic vinegar instead of regular vinegar for a more robust & distinct flavor.
Pinoy White Boy Hey bro, tried it today. Went to a local Pinoy store where I live and got the vinegar and soy sauce. I don’t know why but it came out way too vinegary on that 1/1 ratio. I tried adding some water to balance it out but I think because of the marinade, it was already in the chicken. Still ate it though. 😂😂😂. Will try your pork adobo on Thursday and reduce the vinegar and see how I get on. Live and learn I guess! Thanks again bro, hope all is well! 🤙🏻
Oh man. Sorry to hear that. My wife and I like adobo that is slightly sweet and vinegary. I’ve been told there are hundreds of versions of adobo so definitely ymmv on the taste and seasoning adjustment. But appreciate you letting me know how yours turned out. Thanks again!
It won't change it terribly. Just be careful if using the instant pot, the carrots will disintegrate in the IP if cooked too long. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Hello! Thanks for inquiring. The recipe will take 25 minutes plus. I try my best to give the times in video and the description correctly. Thanks for watching
@@pinoywhiteboy8021 I did end up doing that! I also forgot to come on here and say this is the best adobo recipe! The other ones I had found and tried before added water. Yours with just the soy sauce and vinegar was PERFECT (I did add a little less soy sauce though). My Filipino boyfriend said "this is what it's supposed to taste like"! Thank you so much! I have also used your Sinigang recipe before also 😉🙂
You're awesome! The Adobe recipe is spot on! Only a couple things... I was taught to use less soy sauce to the final cooking vessel, and add water to redce the saltiness. There is a difference between white and brown sugar when adding, so you can mention that. Also the marinate is typically longer, an hour or 4. Also do you know how to measure and cook rice Filipino style? You shold show that.. of just make a video on that. I got that down, and actually cannot measure rice manually. Do you and your sweetheart know how to make chicken Tinola with chayote? If you do.. ya need to help a friend out and get a video posted! My ex made it and its one of the few things I really miss! Haha
Wow! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time! I'm learning the Filipino method of measuring water and rice, still getting the hang of it. We do know how to make tinola with chayote (and tons of ginger)! It's on our list..whenever we get a chance to make more videos.
Hey. Sorry for replying late. Chicken meat has a more neutral taste than pork so it doesn’t need as much flavoring and also needs less time marinating time the pork version.

Never tried Basmati rice with chicken Adobo. Defintely going to try that. Thank you the suggestion.

I always come back to this video when I want some chicken adobo. In fact it’s the only thing I cook in my instant pot.
I’m a Filipino who never learned to cook. Can’t wait to try it your way!
You can do it! Just take your time, taste as you go, and don't be afraid to fail. Thank you for watching!
I love that you used the Filipino soy sauce and vinegar. Now that's authentic!! ❤️
I was a bit skeptical at first, but this is spot on!
It's okay. Even Filipinos have different ways (and recipes) of cooking adobo. Thank you for your tutorial.
Thank you for watching!

Thats the recipe I do also. Good recipe. Filipina approved.

It's easy to use the instant pot, don't be too scared. If it helps, you can use a wooden spoon to release the pressure valve until you get comfortable.

Outstanding delicious and simple recipe, thank you!
We always use brown sugar, too. Mmmm Mmmm good!
Hey thanks for this video, I’ve been looking for an instant pot version of this. You explain this so well. Thanks!!
It is a perfect adobo recipe just like I do it. I simmer it too to reduce the sauce it brings more flavor.
Looks so good. Gonna have to try this 😋
you know what, you may have done the right thing not putting the garlic in the marinade. i marinate my adobo overnight minus the garlic. i notice that garlic loses much of its flavor over time. putting the garlic during cooking time makes the garlic flavor more potent and delicious.
Thanks for the advice, I'll put an extra scoop of garlic to the mix after the marinade is done for the cooking process.
Thanks find advice, but I like it add it in the beginning, if you are worried about it losing flavor ( or mellowing out) you can always add more before cooking. Thanks for watching!
Yum. Just made this. Thanks once again for very easy instructions!
Wife just got an instant pot for Christmas and we just opened it! We’re definitely going to add this
one to the list! Thanks for the video.
That's awesome! I hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoy mine! Thanks for watching!
Very good video, thanks, you explain very well and is pretty easy understand your English (is not my maternal language), you get a new subscription! :)
Thank you very much for the Sub, and for watching!
Adobo is my favorite yummy 😋
Awesome. Can't wait to make this
Thank you for watching!
I just got my Instant Pot today! excited to try making adobo on thisss
Been craving adobo, thanks for sharing the tutorial!
Thanks for watching!!

That's a good idea, I'll will try that out next time. Thanks for watching!
The pickling spice idea is brilliant. I use a similar recipe but use a couple tablespoons of molasses and cut back the brown sugar a little bit.
This chicken was crying for a good time under the broiler to crisp that soggy skin... or just use skinless for a healthier option.
You could totally do that, but I find that it will dry out the chicken, I don't like it, but it is an option. Thanks for watching!
I dig it! Good job man. I'm making this right now.
Awesome! Please tell me if you enjoyed it!
Legit ingredients! Yum!
Thanks for watching!
“Don’t put too much bay leaf”, proceeds to add too much bay leaf. 😂 😂Seriously though, looks good and easy to make. Will try to make this soon.
😂😂 what can I say? I like bay leaf! Thanks for watching!
Yeah, This looks great. One part vinegar and one part soy is definitely too salty for my personal taste but my pinay partner told me the same thing, add sugar to reduce the saltiness.

And, I really want to yell at you...what's your problem with that?
Haha, you can yell if you want. Just not too much, okay?!
Thanks for sharing your version. Adding annatto is an interesting twist I'd love to try.
Thank you brother..I can do this!!!!
When u poured all the sauce on top of it I went "ohhhh yeah baby"
EASY, I WILL TRY WHEN I BUY MY INSTA POT
Thanks for sharing! Im definitely going to try this in my instant pot
Thanks for watching!
Great recipe

Food looks good!
Nice, I'm going to try this right now. Thanks for posting :D

Can't believe I'm learning how to cook my country's favorite dish from a white dude. Well played sir.
Looks like Mom's Adobe, now I'm hungry😋
Looks good 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Can’t wait to try this! Question during the manual is it for 25 mins or 10? Info bar days 25 ! So sorry I’m trying to learn how to cook 😂 ty in advance
You are correct! Thanks for catching that, it has been corrected to follow the video, 10 minutes, manual pressure. Good luck and thanks for watching!
I am SO excited to try this. Thank you for using Filipino vinegar & soy sauce lol. Have you ever cooked pork with the chicken too.
It's my favorite!! I always make baboy and manok adobo. Thanks for watching!
Hi Kuya! Love your videos and tips for using the InstaPot! I've been making chicken adobo for a long time. Cooking tip: use balsamic vinegar instead of regular vinegar for a more robust & distinct flavor.
Awesome! ive never tried using Balsamic for adobo, very interesting! Thank you so much for the tip and for watching!
looks great! I'm gonna try it out tonight!
Awesome, please tell me how it came out!
Padre! Nice job on the adobo! But you can keep the jasmine rice. I'm not a fan :P Just plain ole Japanese kine white rice. Winnahs la dat!!!
Thank you for watching! I can't help it, I love the smell of jasmine rice!
@@pinoywhiteboy8021 No worries. Rice it up any way you want :) BTW, and I think I asked this, have you tried to make Bulalo in the IP?
I like your video
Thank you so much for watching!
I have a small size instead pot still want to try to make that . Can you do more recipe ?
Hi there, you can absolutely try, just cut everything in half, including cooking time. Please let me know how it turns out, thanks for watching.
👍
Thanks, great video sir.
Thanks,
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks bro. Can’t wait to try this. 🤙🏻

Does it change the recipe if I cook carrots with it? Guess I’ll try tonight?
It won't change it terribly. Just be careful if using the instant pot, the carrots will disintegrate in the IP if cooked too long. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Pinoy White Boy yes appreciate the tip... carrots in IP can only be cooked for 10 min.
sarap!
Thanks for watching!
Oooo, nice video. Looks yummy :)
Thanks Lik!
I tried it, It’s very salty n strong. Maybe do 1/4 cup vinegar and half soy sauce ? But thank u
I prefer the Baguio City version of FIlipino Adobo with Strawberry or some use Pineapple. Healthier Version
Wow, I've been to baguio, didn't know they do a version with strawberry.. interesting. Thanks for watching.
So is it 10 minutes like in the video??or 25 minutes like the instructions in the description??
Hello! Thanks for inquiring. The recipe will take 25 minutes plus. I try my best to give the times in video and the description correctly. Thanks for watching
Oh and add sweet onion
Is using 1/2 cup soy sauce fine? Lol. One cup seems like a ton...
Sure, you absolutely can use whatever measurements you'd prefer, I like sauce for my rice, So I make a extra.
Try squid adobo next time I'm telling u its super delicious!!!
This is my Asawa's favorite! Thanks so much for watching!
@@pinoywhiteboy8021 but promise you shout out my name on your next video cooking squid adobo ...you are welcome..
You could marinade right in the pot.
Can I marinade in the instant pot insert?
Yes you can!!
If you like it with vegetable, try adding okra.
That sounds great, I love okra, but it's hard to find good okra here. I won't settle for poor quality okra.
Do you cook the okra with the chicken? I love chicken adobo and I love okra!
Heather McDonald we add the okra towards the end when sauteing .
Thank you so much!!! @@esmievanta8357
Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Try adding 2 cloves of garlic to kick that adobo a notch or 2. I can't believe the comment section isn't saying anything about this.
At timestamp 4:22 he realises he forgot and adds it.
Can I leave it in the marinade for hours instead of 15 minutes?
Hello! Yes, you can, it's up to you for how long you wish to marinate! Thanks for watching

Pinoy White Boy you are welcome po. ☺️
can you do a video of Spicy Coconut Curry Lime Bacon Fried Rice carrots, green onion, fried egg? = )
I have a few other things lined up, (Ginataang Langka, champorado and Ube cheesecake) but I'll add it to my list!
My instapot is the duo 7 in 1, it doesn’t have manual setting. What setting do you recommend I use?
Hello! Thanks for watching! You would use the pressure cook function and adjust to more.

Just watch the Jo Koy video on how to make rice.
Silly question: why does the chicken adobo recipe have way less dark sugar than the pork adobo recipe?
Hey. Sorry for replying late. Chicken meat has a more neutral taste than pork so it doesn’t need as much flavoring and also needs less time marinating time the pork version.
Big sexy bear woof!
How would you do this with frozen bone in thighs? 20 min?
Yeah, sounds about right. 20-25 mins, your sauce will be very thin however.
Should be called soysouce adobo
1 c soy sauce is way too much. I usually use 1/3 c soy sauce to your vinegar ratio.
Ahh, it's always fun to see how everyone's recipes differ. I usually use more, because we like alot of sauce for our rice. Thanks for watching!
Could you sauté before also?
Yes, you could, it will add another layer of flavor from Browning the chicken.
Thanks man. You're a cute guy. Was that Warcraft on your laptop screen?
My wife is a Pinoy White Girl
Where's the garlic! Most important ingredient!🤨🤨
At time stamp 4:22
I'm getting hangry.
Whole garlic cloves are 10 times better… Just saying
You should speak a little louder on your microphone... Your voice is too either too low or too soft for a big guy like you...
Haha, thanks man. I wasn't really using a microphone then, I do now, also I have a very soft voice. Thanks for watching!
Omg don't put sugar! That's fattening.
Thanks for your opinion, I like mine with sugar. Cheers!
No sugar!
