This saucy chicken packs a wallop of flavors-salty, sweet, sour, slightly spicy and even a little umami. It can be made on the stove, too. Any way you make it, I think it tastes even better the next day served over warm rice. -Loanne Chiu, Fort Worth, Texas

This adobo recipe is way too salty. I had to rinse the chicken several times before cooking it.

This adobo recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some additional spices to make it more flavorful.
