A classic Filipino chicken dish marinated in soy sauce and vinegar, delivering a savory and tangy flavor that evokes nostalgia.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 4 chicken drumsticks
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat.
  3. Sear the marinated chicken (reserve the marinade) until golden brown.
  4. Pour in the reserved marinade and add water.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30-40 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Season with salt to taste and serve warm with rice.

Notes

For more depth of flavor, let your chicken marinate overnight. Use bone-in and skin-on chicken for juiciness, but boneless chicken works well too.
