Adobo

"Easy, easy! I'm fond of easy. About 4 lbs chicken parts (drumstick, thigh, wing), 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 bulb garlic (about 5 cloves). Peel and slice the garlic and place into a large pot along with all other ingredients. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is fully cooked (40 - 60 minutes). Stir the chicken occasionally so all meat is immersed in the sauce. When finished (meat should be nearly falling off the bone), leave in pot and let cool or chill overnight in fridge. [The sauce will jell in the fridge - the vinegar pulls something out of the bones that makes it jell - but just warm it and it will liquefy.] Grill or broil chicken pieces before serving, brushing with sauce. Good served with rice - the sauce can be served with it to put on the adobo and/or rice."
