Under $20, what's for dinner? Fillipino Adobo Chicken!

Tonight I decided to do something a little different, a little out of my comfort zone. In comes adobo chicken!

It's still within my taste profile, so I'm sure It'll be tasty, but I haven't executed this dish before, So will it be a win, or will I flop?

Ingredients:

1. ~2 lbs. chicken, cut to bite size chunks
2. 3 - 5 bay leaves
3. 5 tbsp soy sauce (kikkoman preferred)
4. 2 tbsp white vinegar
5. 3 cloves garlic peeled and minced
6. 2 cups water
7. 1/4 cup cooking oil
8. 1/2 tablespoon white sugar (or 1/4 cup honey)
9. Salt and whole or fresh ground peppercorn

Directions:

1. In a large container, combine the soy sauce and garlic then marinade the chicken for at least 1 to 3 hours
   
2. Optionally add Sriracha for heat
3. Place the cooking oil in a pan and apply heat
4. When the oil is hot enough, add chicken. Cook while stirring for 5 minutes.
5. Pour-in any remaining marinade and add the water, then bring to a boil.
   
6. Add the bay leaves and peppercorn. Simmer 30 minutes or until chicken is tender
7. after 30 minutes, add vinegar and vegetable. Stir and cook for 10 minutes.
8. Add the sugar, and salt, cook down a little more, while stirring, then turn the heat off.

Remove bay leaves, and serve with rice, preferably with friends and family!
