Ingredients:
- 1 1/2- 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and black pepper until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight, stirring occasionally.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and pat dry with paper towels. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet skin side down and cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook on the second side for an additional 3 minutes.
- Add the reserved marinade and the bay leaves to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, turning the chicken occasionally and spooning the sauce over the top, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened and reduced by about one-third, 20 to 25 minutes.
This recipe is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party or family meal. The combination of soy sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar creates a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors that are sure to please. The addition of bay leaves and garlic takes the dish to the next level, adding complexity and depth that will leave your taste buds singing.
