Chicken Estufao - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 -2 lb chicken, cut into pieces (or use thighs or wings, dark meat works best)
2 garlic cloves
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup rice vinegar (or more, if desired)

Preparation

Combine chicken, garlic, onion, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Remove chicken, reserving liquid.

Reduce heat and add soy sauce, water, and reserved liquid. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until chicken is falling off the bones.
