Simple Chicken Adobo

Chicken, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, pepper, bay leaves. Rice. A few years back I happened across an article and recipe, "Simple Chicken Adobo and Adobo-flavored Garlic Fried Rice", from On My Plate. It became an instant keeper after the first try, and I usually make it once a month or thereabouts.

It is not to die for so much as kill for. ;)

I made it earlier tonight, and there's nothing like that heavenly smell wafting through the kitchen, particularly (if you've had it before) as you anticipate the upcoming bliss.

It's pretty simple to make, too. I grab a two-poundish bag of frozen, boneless Chicken Thighs from Trader Joe's, and go with sticky rice made with chicken broth in my rice cooker. Simple as heck. Just be sure to allow for the 1-3 hours of marinating time. Overnight might be a bit much.
