- In a large pan, heat the garlic on medium heat (with a little olive oil if desired)
- Add the vinegar & soy sauce to the pan, along with the black pepper.
- Place the chicken pieces & the bay leaf into the pan, turning the chicken pieces over once to get coated in the sauce. Then add enough water to cover the chicken.
