Add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the chicken and onion with allspice, salt, and pepper.
Add the bay leaf to the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook the chicken slowly.
Turn the chicken pieces often to prevent sticking or burning, until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 40-45 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Serve hot.

Wine Advice:
Pair this dish with a medium-bodied red wine like a Merlot or a Pinot Noir. These wines have a nice balance of fruit and acidity that complements the savory and slightly spicy flavors of the country-style chicken.
