• 1 whole garlic bulb, smashed and peeled


• 2 teaspoons kosher salt


• 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper


• 1 bay leaf


• 2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks


• 1 tablespoon canola oil


• 1 cup water

Directions

• Combine the first six ingredients. Add chicken; refrigerate, covered, 20-30 minutes. Drain, reserving marinade. Pat chicken dry.


• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken. Stir in water and reserved marinade. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink and sauce is slightly reduced, 20-25 minutes. If desired, serve chicken with cooking sauce.
