CHICKEN AND MARINADE

750g / 1.5 lb chicken thigh fillets , boneless and skinless (5 - 6 pieces) (do not sub breast)

6 garlic cloves , minced

1/3 cup soy sauce , ordinary all purpose or light (not dark soy sauce)

1/3 cup + 2 tbsp white vinegar

4 bay leaves, fresh, or 3 dried

FOR COOKING:

2 tbsp oil , separated (vegetable, canola or peanut)

1 small brown onion , diced

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp whole black pepper (sub 2 tsp coarse cracked pepper)

निर्देश

Mix Chicken and Marinade, set aside 20 min or up to 24 hrs. Heat 1 tbsp oil in large skillet over high heat, sear both sides chicken 1 min each (RESERVE marinade) – do not cook inside. Remove chicken onto plate.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in same skillet, cook onion and garlic 2 min. Add in all reserved Marinade plus water, sugar and peppercorns. Bring to simmer, reduce to medium and simmer 5 min. Add chicken smooth side down, simmer uncovered 20 - 25 min, flipping chicken at 15 min, until sauce reduces to a glaze that coats the chicken. Serve, sprinkled with green onions.

PS If sauce hasn’t reduced by 25 min, take chicken out then return pan to stove – will reduce super fast without chicken.
