2-3 lbs of chicken (I prefer thighs)

1-2 onions, sliced

A head of garlic, sliced thin

ginger (I use the stuff in the tube, and just give it a good squeeze)

3-4 bay leaves

pepper and crushed red pepper (depending on your preferred spice level)

3/4 cup soy sauce

3/4 cup vinegar

1/2 cup water

Put all this in the slow cooker.  Cook on low for 5-6hrs.  Serve over rice topped with green onions.

  
Optional: add mushrooms (from the beginning), or add broccoli about a half hour before serving.
