(1) 2-3 lb. chicken (or 4 leg quarters or 3 lbs. of chicken wings)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup of rice
1/2 stick of butter or oleo
2 medium onions, sliced thin
1 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1 tsp. vinegar
dash of pepper (more if desired)
8 cups of water 

Cut chicken into serving pieces, wash and dry well.  Sauté onions until clear, not brown.  Add chicken parts, all seasonings and vinegar and continue to brown until the liquids are almost dry.  Use moderate flame so that the chicken will not burn.  Turn the chicken over constantly to cook and brown evenly.  When the liquids have dried, add water and let simmer until the chicken is almost done.  Add the rice and continue to cook until the rice is cooked.  About 20 minutes, longer if necessary.
