Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks
- ½ onion slivered
- ⅓ cup white cane vinegar
- ⅓ cup soy sauce reduced sodium
- 6 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 3 bay leaves
Instructions
- Heat oil in a deep skillet. Add chicken and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.
- Remove chicken and set aside. Add onion to the pan and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken back to the pan. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken.
- 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).
- 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.
