Chicken Liver and Gizzard Adobo is known locally in the Philippines as Adobong Atay at Balun-balunan. This is a traditional Filipino dish cooked inadobo style. This is a simple and budget friendly Filipino recipe that is worth trying.

Chicken Liver and Gizzard Adobo Recipe

This recipe has a little deviation from the original recipe because I dredged the liver in flour and pan-fried it first before making it into an adobo dish. The traditional recipe do not do it this way. I deviated in order to give the liver a better texture and to thicken the sauce of this adobo dish. I also love the flavor of fried chicken liver and I thought that it helped improved the overall taste of the dish.

You see, chicken liver is full of flavor; it is the reason why Sisig recipes always call for it. Imagine how flavorful this dish is, and that is why I had my rice consumption doubled when I had it.

Try this Chicken Liver and Gizzard Adobo Recipe (Adobong Atay at Balun-balunan). Let me know what you think.

      I suggest that you read the recipe above. Because chicken gizzard is tough and chewy, it requires to be boiled for 60 to 90 minutes or until tender.

      If you are referring to the scallions or chopped green onion, it is added as a garnish on top before serving the dish.

    Lagi lang ako pumupunta sa website ng Panlasang Pinoy at nanunuod ng videos at nagbabasa ng instructions para maluto ko yung mga putahe na hindi ko pa alam lutuin. Napaka simple at dali ng paraan at malinaw kung paano ito binibigay ni Vanjo. Lahat ng niluto ko na binasa at napanuod ko dito, masasarap ang kinalabasan! Buti na lang may ganitong website. Salamat sa lahat ng recipe at sa pagta-tyaga sa pag video pag gawa ng recipes. Lahat masasarap! God bless you!

      I agree. This makes a good “pulutan” and can also be eaten with rice.
