Instructions

  1. Season chicken generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Brown chicken well in a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or deep frying pan. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, black pepper, bay leaves and chillies and pour into the pan. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add the chicken, skin-side up, and simmer with the lid ajar for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
