Steps:
- In a slow cooker, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, peppercorns, garlic and bay leaves and stir to combine. Add the chicken, turning to coat evenly. Cover and cook the chicken on low until tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place on a plate. Strain the cooking liquid into a small pot. Place over medium-high heat and simmer until reduced to a thick sauce. Place the chicken back in the slow cooker to stay warm while the sauce reduces.
- Spoon some rice into serving bowls. Top with the chicken and some of the sauce, then garnish with the pickled peppers and scallions.
ADOBO CHICKEN
Steps:
- For the chicken: Preheat 2 cast-iron grill pans over medium heat.
- Whisk together the ancho chile powder, New Mexican chile powder, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, orange juice, lime juice and season with salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the canola oil and whisk. Put the chicken in the marinade, turning the chicken to coat both sides.
- Grill the chicken until golden brown and slightly charred on one side, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 more minutes; the juices should run clear and the meat thermometer should read 165 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, for the salad: Put the avocado, onions, cilantro, salt, pepper, lime juice and olive oil in a medium bowl. Fold the ingredients with a rubber spatula, gently breaking up the avocado in the process.
- To serve: Grill the tortillas on both sides until lightly marked and warmed through, about 10 seconds per side. Then fold in half and place on the side of a serving dish.
- Place the chicken in the center of the serving dish and top with a scoop of the salad. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice and garnish with a sprig of cilantro.

Steps:
- Put the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, peppercorns, red pepper, garlic, bay leaves and 1/2 cup water in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Close and shake to combine the ingredients and dissolve the sugar.
- Open the bag, add the chicken and reseal; shake to distribute the marinade around the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Adjust an oven rack to the top position and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Pour everything from the bag into a large Dutch oven or pot and arrange the chicken in a single layer. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, adjust the heat to low and cook, turning the drumsticks occasionally, until the chicken is tender and registers 165 degrees F in the deepest part of the leg, 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover the pot and transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
- Increase the heat and bring the remaining liquid in the pot to a boil. Cook until reduced and just slightly thinner than maple syrup, 7 to 9 minutes. Strain the sauce and discard the solids.
- Meanwhile, broil the chicken until browned in spots, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a shallow bowl and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve with rice.
CHICKEN ADOBO
Seasonings and a splash of lime make this chicken something special, writes Carma Blosser from Livermore, Colorado. "It is also really tasty in salads and sandwiches and can also be prepared on an indoor grill." Tip: Make extra pieces to freeze in individual servings and keep on hand for drop-in guests, Carma suggests.
