Method

1

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.

2

Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the chicken on all sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside.

3

In the same pot, sauté the sliced onion and minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

4

Pour in the soy sauce, vinegar, and broth. Add the bay leaves and sugar. Stir to combine.

5

Return the browned chicken to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is tender.

6

If using potatoes, add them after 10 minutes of simmering so they cook alongside the chicken.

7

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, soy sauce, or vinegar as needed. Remove bay leaves. Garnish with sliced green onion and serve hot over white rice or jasmine rice.
