  1. Brown chicken in pan, then transfer it to the slow cooker. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaves, and black pepper to the slow cooker on top of the chicken.
  2. Combine the vinegar and soy sauce in a liquid measuring cup and use it to deglaze the hot pan the chicken was cooked in. Make sure to scrape up all the brown bits, then pour the liquid over everything in the slow cooker.
  3. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve over rice or your favorite starch with spoonfuls of the wonderful sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
