Steps:
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan or pot over medium-high flame.
- Working in batches, brown the chicken pieces in the hot oil and remove to a plate.
- Pour off all but 2-3 tablespoons of oil and add the onions to the same pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and sauté until cooked down and just beginning to brown, 10-15 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium-high and return the chicken pieces to the pot. Add the water or stock, wine, bay leaf, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 25-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Adjust seasoning and serve with rice.
