Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a deep skillet. Add chicken and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.
  2. Remove chicken and set aside. Add onion to the pan and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken back to the pan. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken.
  4. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat to a low simmer and cook covered for 30 minutes. Flip chicken, cover, and simmer an additional 20 minutes or until chicken is tender (keep an eye on the liquid and add a bit of water if needed).
  5. Remove bay leaves and serve with rice and a drizzle of the sauce if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use cane vinegar often found in the Asian aisle of your grocery store or online. Cider vinegar can be substituted.
  • Regular soy sauce or dark soy sauce can be substituted but will produce a saltier dish. Silver Swan soy sauce is a traditional soy sauce that can be used in this dish. It is slightly sweeter than a traditional soy sauce.
