Step 1

In a large bowl, add in all the chicken (thighs and drumsticks) and the heavily crushed cloves of garlic.

Step 2

To that add a fresh crack of black pepper, black peppercorns, palm sugar, unseasoned rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, regular soy sauce, filtered water, and toss together and add in bay leaves.

Step 3

Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for 2 hours, or ideally overnight. **Reserve all marinated liquid**

Step 4

Set a large braiser or dutch oven over medium-high heat and coat with oil to cover the pan.

Step 5

Sear all the chicken in batches on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side. Place each batch to the side once done browning to avoid overcrowding.

Step 6

Add marination to the pan (without the chicken) along with all the aromatics. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces to the pan in layers and bring to a boil.

Step 7

Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let simmer (covered) for 35 minutes. Uncover and flip the chicken pieces, cover them again, and cook for another 25-35 more minutes. Turn chicken over occasionally to thoroughly coat and the sauce thickens and a glaze.

Step 8

Place the chicken on a plate of rice topped with green onions. Spoon on as much sauce as desired.
