  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1.5 cup sugar

Chicken And Rice

  • 8/12 chicken legs
  • white rice
  • salted chicken broth
  • 1/4 tbs salt

Instructions
 

Cabbage Slaw

  • Finely chop 1 head of cabbage, ½ large green pepper, and 1 small onion; I use a food processor to get it very finely chopped.
  • Stir ingredients together and add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of celery seed.
  • Over medium heat, bring ¾ cup of apple cider vinegar, ¾ cup of oil, and 1 ¼ cup of sugar to a boil, and then pour over the cabbage mixture.

Chicken And Rice

  • It starts by simply salting 8 to 12 chicken legs (bones and skin intact) and placing them into the magic red pot.
  • Add 4 cups of SALTED chicken broth and ¼ tablespoon of salt.
  • Boil gently for 15 minutes until the chicken is completely cooked. Remove from heat and add 3 cups of rice.
  • Stir gently so that all rice is wet and then cover with a lid.
  • This is where the magic happens – let it sit for 4-5 hours covered on the stovetop.
  • Remove the lid and use a fork to remove the chicken legs.
  • Pull the chicken meat off the bone and separate it from the skin.
  • Place pulled chicken back into the rice mixture and stir.
  • Taste and, if necessary, add more salt to your liking.
