Chicken Humba Ingredients

1 teaspoon Achuete Oil (annatto oil)
4 cloves Garlic
1 onion minced
1 whole Chicken about 1.2 kilos
3/4 Cup cane vinegar
1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
3/4 Cup brown sugar

Instructions

In a pot large enough to fit the whole chicken, heat oil and sauté garlic and onions until fragrant. Add chicken, breast side up, and the rest of the ingredients except eggs and banana blossoms.
Add enough water to submerge chicken. Cover and cook over low heat until chicken is tender. Halfway through cooking, add hard-boiled eggs.
When chicken is almost cooked, add banana blossoms and cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning.
