Crock Pot Chicken Adobo

Ingredients

• 3 to 5 pounds of chicken meat
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 4 bay leaves
• 1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
• 1 yellow onion, sliced in rings

Directions

1. Use a 6-quart slow cooker.
2. If you have the time to assemble the chicken in a plastic zipper bag with the salt, pepper, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar the night before, do so.
3. The chicken will be much more flavorful if left to marinate overnight. Then dump out in the morning on top of the vegetables. Otherwise, assemble everything in the morning.
4. Cook on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 4-5.
5. This is done when the chicken is cooked through and has reached desired tenderness. The vinegar will really tenderize the chicken nicely. If you do opt for a whole chicken, or pieces with bones, please be aware of the bones when serving.
