Cook the bacon in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until cooked, about 8 minutes.
With a spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate with napkins and let it drain the fat.
While the bacon cooks, wash and dry the chicken well. Season with salt and pepper.
In the pan where the bacon was cooked, brown the sides of the chicken, starting with the skin side down, over high heat for 8 minutes.
Transfer to a plate and remove most of the fat from the pan.
Add the chopped shallots to the pan over low heat and cook covered until softened and slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir to prevent sticking or burning.
Remove the lid, and continue cooking the shallots until they turn golden, about 10 more minutes.
Add garlic and 1 cup of water to the pan and let it boil, stirring for 1 minute.
Return the chicken pieces to the pan and arrange them skin side up.
Let it boil a little and reduce the heat. Cook until the chicken is done, about 30 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter.
Add vinegar to the remaining liquid and let it boil (uncovered), season with salt and pepper, and let it thicken slightly.
Serve the chicken with the sauce on top and sprinkle with chopped bacon.
