INGREDIENTS:

4-8 chicken thighs

9-12 cloves of garlic crushed

2 bay leaf

5g black peppercorns

Crack black pepper

200g cane vinegar or any white vinegar

40g dark soy sauce

100g light soy (Filipino)

80g water

METHOD:

1. Place all ingredients in a bowl and marinade for 30 mins to an hour.

2. Separate chicken from the marinade. Place chicken on a tray lined with kitchen paper, to dry slightly. Keep the marinade aside for later use.

3. In a casserole dish/heavy pot, add neutral oil at medium-high heat.

4. Sear chicken on both sides until golden /caramelised. After all the chicken has been seared, add the marinade to the pot. Bring to a boil.

5. Turn heat down and simmer for 20-30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has turned into a glaze.

6. Serve over jasmine rice. Garnish with sliced spring onions (optional)
