Why I Love This Recipe
Always a family favorite.
Ingredients You'll Need
8 – 10 pieces of chicken - DO NOT use skinless boneless
2 heads of garlic crushed
¾ - 1 cup of soy sauce

1 T pickling spice (optional)
4 oz tomato sauce (optional)

Saute chicken (skin side down) and garlic until chicken is brown, do not burn garlic.

Simmer for 5 min and serve over white rice.
