So you use a 2 1/2 lb bird?? Not sure that will feed my family..
Can i just double the recipe if i get like a 5 lb bird??

Absolutely, thats exactly what I did when I did this recipe. I always cook big, then share with my senior neighbor, my mom, and I always have one of my kids stopping by. Let me know what you think after you make this. I am going to post another recipe this week for chicken adobo. Another one pot quick chicken recipe.
