Best Chicken Adobo

This is close to the version my friend andrea taught me to make a couple years back. It's a delicious filipino dish that is very flavorful.

Boil chicken pieces in a large pot full of water until runoff of chicken is clear.

Drain water out and add enough oil to saute chicken and garlic.

Brown on all sides.

You can do this in shifts if needed.

Add equal parts of soy sauce and vinegar , as well as the bay leaves and seasonings to taste.

Simmer for at least 20 minutes or until chicken is tender.

Serve with white rice , which tastes best after rinsed off several times to remove the starch from it.
