  • 6 cloves garlic (if you don't like garlic use 2 cloves)
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 1 (3-lb) whole chicken cut into pieces (or 3 pounds of breasts and thighs); 10-12 drumsticks will work here as well

Directions
  1. Slice up the onion and mince 3 cloves of garlic and place with 1 bay leaf at the bottom of the slow cooker

  3. In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, 3 crushed cloves of garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar

This recipe turned out way too salty and one dimensional. I just wasted 3lbs of chicken breast. It was so bad I ended up throwing the whole batch out! I for sure won't be making this again and I don't recommend anyone wasting their food and time making this!


I LOVE this recipe. Some filipino co-workers made this and brought it in to work about 6 months ago. It was AMAZING. I asked them how they made it and I memorized the recipe and ran to the store to get the ingredients. I then googled the ingredients and looked for a similar recipe and here it is! It's not rocket science. It's pretty straight forward. You can always substitute low sodium soy sauce if you prefer. You can also control the flavor by the rice/chicken/sauce ratio. I have since made this dish handfuls of times and it has been a hit at the dinner table every time!


I have been doing 1 cup soy sauce and 1 cup vinegar. My filipino friends said "equal parts of both." Plus, it gives your more "juice" to work with for the rice! Mmm.

My filipino neighbor suggested taking out the chicken an hour early. Pan frying it with garlic and olive oil, then putting it back in the crock pot! YUM!
