Chicken Adobo

Filipino Adobo

Ingredients
1 1/4 pounds chicken wings and things
1 - 3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon black peppercorns, coarsely ground
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
2 bay leaves, torn
1 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed

Directions:
1. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place in a stock pot. Rub with crushed garlic and torn bay leaf, and coat with vinegar and soy sauce. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
2. Bring meat and marinating liquid to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 1/2 hours, or until meat is fork-tender. If necessary, add a small amount of water to prevent drying out.
3. Strain liquid from meat. Return to the stock pot and bring to a simmer. In a skillet, cook and stir meat in 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat until brown on all sides, adding remaining 2 cloves of smashed garlic in the last 3 minutes. Add meats to cooking liquid, and continue simmering until slightly thickened.

Serve hot with rice.
