Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, white vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Cooking

Sear the Chicken
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve the marinade for later use. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5-7 minutes until browned. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for an additional 5 minutes.
