Filipino "Adobo"-Style Chicken
Recipe courtesy Gourmet Magazine

Ingredients
8 whole chicken legs (about 4 pounds), cut into
drumstick and thigh sections
1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 bay leaves
1/2 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, crushed lightly
1 cup water
3/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Chopped scallions, for garnish

Accompaniment: Cooked rice

Directions
In a large kettle combine the chicken, vinegar,
garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and 1 cup water, bring the mixture to a boil, and
simmer it, covered, for 20 minutes. Add the soy sauce and simmer the mixture,
covered, for 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken with tongs to a plate and boil the
liquid for 10 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 1 cup. Let the sauce cool,
remove the bay leaves, and skim the fat from the surface.

In a large skillet heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking and
in it saute the chicken, patted dry, in batches, turning it, for 5 minutes, or
until it is browned well. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed platter, pour the
sauce, heated, over it, and serve the chicken with the rice.
