Ingredients
  

  • - 2-3.5 pounds bone-in chicken thighs
  • - 3-4 pieces dried bay leaves
  • - 4-8 tablespoons soy sauce
  • - 6 tablespoons white vinegar
  • - 1-5 cloves garlic peeled

Instructions
 

  • Begin by marinating the chicken thighs in a large bowl with soy sauce, garlic, and bay leaves. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour, or for best results, refrigerate and marinate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • After marination, drain the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade.
  • In a large skillet or pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the marinated chicken for about 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
  • Pour in the remaining marinade along with a splash of water to help create the sauce. Add the dried bay leaves and whole peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
  • After simmering, add the white vinegar to the pan. Stir gently to combine and continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove from heat and serve with steamed rice.
