Ingredients
  • ¾ cup white vinegar
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves, and brown sugar.
  2. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add in the vegetable oil. Shake the chicken so excess marinade comes off and add to the pan.
  4. Brown the chicken thighs on both sides, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the remaining marinade to the skillet and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Flip the chicken thighs. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by half and thickens for another 10 minutes.
  7. Serve the chicken thighs sprinkled with green onions, and optionally with rice.
