Ingredients

  • 3-4 lb chicken pieces drumsticks and thighs
  • 1/2 C soy sauce see notes for gluten-free suggestion
  • 3/4 C white vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 Tbsp whole peppercorns

Instructions

  • Place chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken periodically in the cooking liquid.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and grill or broil for about 5 minutes.
  • While the chicken is finishing cooking, continue boiling the sauce until it reduces by almost half. Place the cooked chicken on a platter, strain the sauce and pour over the chicken.
  • Serve with jasmine rice and stir-fried vegetables.

Notes

Be sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce if following a gluten-free diet. I use San-J Tamari Gluten-Free Soy Sauce or La Choy soy sauce which is now labeled gluten-free. Sauce is not pictured because I forgot to add it back before taking pictures. Oops.
