Ingredients
  

  • 6 chicken thighs or drumsticks bone-in and skin-on
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 4 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon scallions sliced

Instructions
 

  • On medium high heat, add 1 tb oil to a skillet. Brown the chicken for five minutes on each side.
  • Add soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, peppercorns and bay leaves. Bring the sauce to a boil then cover and simmer on low for 20-30 minutes or until tender. Turn the chicken over 15 minutes into cooking. 
  • Uncover and on medium high heat, reduce the sauce for five minutes or until desired consistency.
  • Serve with white rice, sauce and garnish with scallions. Happy nomming!

Notes

  • You can adjust the vinegar/soy sauce ratio to your taste. If you'd like more sauce, feel free to double the sauce! I wouldn't blame you because it tastes so good!
  • Instead of reducing the sauce, you can also thicken with cornstarch. Remove the chicken from the pan. Combine 2 teaspoon cornstarch with 2 teaspoon water, whisk into the sauce on medium heat until thickened.
