Instructions

1
Combine chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns in a pot; marinate 20-30 minutes if time allows.
2
Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer without stirring the vinegar in too vigorously at first.
3
Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, turning the chicken pieces occasionally.
4
Remove the chicken and set aside; reduce the remaining sauce over medium-high heat for 5-8 minutes until thickened.
5
Optionally, sear the chicken pieces in a splash of oil in a separate pan until browned.
6
Return chicken to the reduced sauce and stir in brown sugar if using.
7
Simmer 5 more minutes to coat the chicken well, then serve hot over rice.

Chef's tips

Do not stir the pot too much in the first few minutes of simmering, as this helps keep the vinegar's sharp edge from overwhelming the sauce before it mellows.
