Filipino Chicken Adobo With Garlic - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken wings
1 head garlic, coarsely chopped
1/2 onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 cups water
1/2 cup vinegar (rice vinegar or white wine vinegar work best)
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons cooking oil

Preparation

Put vinegar, bay leaves, pepper, soy sauce, onion 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. This dish is too strongly flavored to go well with wine; try serving it with beer.
