Atkins Chicken Recipes

Ingredients:

1 cup white vinegar
2 clove garlic, pushed through a press
1 leaf bay
1 1/2 tsp whole peppercorns, lightly crushed
1/2 cup soy sauce, reduced-sodium
6 whole chicken leg quarter, drumstick & thigh pieces
1 cup water
3 tbsp canola oil

Instructions:

The tangy vinegar marinade called adobo is a Spanish influence on the
cuisine of the Phillipines. Islanders enjoy adobo-seasoned pork, too.

1. In a large glass baking dish, mix vinegar, garlic, leaf bay ,
peppercorns and soy sauce; add chicken and toss to coat. Cover with plastic
wrap and marinate in the refrigerator 1 hour.

2. Transfer chicken and its marinade to a large saucepan. Add water and
heat to boiling over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 20
minutes. With tongs, transfer chicken to a plate to cool. Boil cooking
liquid until it is reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Let sauce cool and
strain into a small saucepan. Skim off fat and reheat.

3. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. In a large skillet, heat oil over
high heat until very hot. Brown chicken in batches, about 2 minutes per
side. Transfer to a deep platter and pour hot sauce over chicken.
