Chicken Adobo (Filipino Chicken with Garlic
250 ml vinegar (rice or white wine vinegars work best)
2 bay leaves
5 ml ground black pepper
50 ml soy sauce
500 ml water
25 ml cooking oil
1 head of garlic, coarsely chopped
1 kg chicken pieces, cut up or whole
Put vinegar, bay leaves, pepper, soy sauce, and water in a saucepan.
Cover and cook slowly about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the cooking oil in a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan.
Peel the garlic, break the cloves into chunks, and brown them over medium-low heat (about 5 minutes).
Add the chicken to the frypan and brown it over medium-high heat (about 5 minutes).
Add the broth to the frypan and simmer, partly covered, until the chicken is done (about 30 minutes).
Do not let it come to a boil.
Remove the bay leaves and serve over rice.
