Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 to 50 minutes, turning the chicken every 20 minutes, until cooked through and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the liquid and arrange on a serving platter. Discard the bay leaves and garlic cloves. Whisk the arrowroot and lime juice into the liquid and bring the mixture to a boil.

Steps:
- Place chicken pieces in a large bowl. Pour vinegar and soy sauce over chicken, and season with ground black pepper to taste. Toss to coat.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and brown garlic. Be careful not to burn garlic, as this will make the dish taste bitter. After browning garlic, remove it from the oil.
- Place marinated chicken pieces in hot oil. Pour remaining marinade over all, and add bay leaves. Reduce heat to low, and cook chicken pieces for about 10 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink and juices run clear. The marinade will reduce, and make a nice gravy. Remove bay leaves, and serve immediately.

Tips:
- To make the best chicken adobo, use a whole chicken cut into 8 pieces. This will ensure that the chicken is evenly cooked and flavorful.
- Use a combination of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and bay leaves to create the adobo marinade. This will give the chicken a rich, savory, and slightly tangy flavor.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but preferably overnight. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the chicken and make it more tender.
- When cooking the chicken, use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through. This will take about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
- Serve the chicken adobo with rice, vegetables, and a side of adobo sauce.
Conclusion:
Chicken adobo is a delicious and versatile Filipino dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a budget-friendly meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious chicken adobo that your family and friends will love.
