• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 907.18 g chicken wings
• 1 head garlic, coarsely chopped
• 1 onion, coarsely chopped
• 59.14 ml soy sauce
• 14.79 ml ground black pepper
• 473.18 ml water
• 118.29 ml vinegar (rice vinegar or white wine vinegar work best)
• 2 bay leaves
• 29.58 ml cooking oil

directions

1. Put vinegar, bay leaves, pepper, soy sauce, onion and water in a saucepan. Cover and cook slowly about 15 minutes.
2. 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).
3. Add the chicken to the frypan and brown it over medium-high heat (about 5 minutes).
4. 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.
5. Remove the bay leaves and serve over rice. This dish is too strongly flavored to go well with wine; try serving it with beer.
