Instructions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat a bit of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, add a bit more oil if needed, then sauté the onions and garlic until they become fragrant and translucent.

Step 3

Return the browned chicken to the pot, and add the soy sauce, white vinegar, bay leaf, black peppercorns, and sugar. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked. Stir occasionally.
