Use equal parts vinegar, soy sauce and water. The secret ingredient is cinnamon. This can also be made in the slow cooker: after browning chicken, onion and garlic, transfer to slow cooker, add the rest of the ingredients, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or 4 hours on high.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 3 pounds chicken drumsticks and thighs
- 1 onion , coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup water
- 2 bays leaves
- 10 whole black peppercorns
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions

1
Heat canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, and pan-fry the chicken drumsticks and thighs until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken pieces, and set aside. Stir onion and garlic into the hot skillet, and cook and stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes.

Pour in apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and water; stir in bay leaves, peppercorns, and the cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, scraping up and dissolving any browned flavor bits from the bottom of the pan. Return chicken pieces and any juice that has formed to the pan.

Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and simmer until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 45 minutes.

Banana-Nut Buttermilk Bundt Cake
This Bundt cake has a hint of spice with a bit of crunch to the outside and a light texture on the inside and is made with buttermilk. Not overly sweet, so I prefer it without frosting. A nice replacement for banana bread, very moist. May add frosting or powdered sugar for presentation but this cake is excellent by itself.
Beef Stroganoff with White Wine
Based on a dish I had a pub in Scotland, this beef stroganoff is best served with rice instead of noodles. The sauce is not very thick, so it coats the rice nicely.
Kumquats
This is an easy recipe for kumquats. Kumquats are entirely edible when ripe, rind and all (although the seeds should be removed). They may be eaten as is, with seeds removed, cut in half, or sliced thinly and used as a garnish for a meat platter or in salads.
