Ingredients

  • 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup vinegar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Make the Marinade:

    • In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, water, brown sugar, garlic, onion, pepper, salt, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.

  • Marinate the Chicken:

    • Add the chicken thighs into the marinade and toss to coat.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.

  • Cook the Chicken:

    • Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
    • Add the marinated chicken and bring to a simmer.
    • Cook for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  • Reduce the Sauce:

    • Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
    • Increase the heat to medium-high and allow the sauce to reduce by half, about 10 minutes.

  • Finish the Dish:

    • Return the chicken to the pot, coating it with the reduced sauce.
    • Serve hot over steamed rice.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with tofu or vegetables like mushrooms for a plant-based version.
  • Spicy Version: Add chili peppers or a teaspoon of hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Add Vegetables: Toss in potatoes or carrots to cook along with the chicken, soaking up the sauce’s flavor.
