Best Chicken Adobo

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(can be more or less than 1 cup, just add enough to cover meat), 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.
