    • 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
    • 3 teaspoons annatto powder, divided

STEPS

1

Combine vinegar, soy sauce, 1/2 of the chopped garlic, bay leaves, garlic powder, black pepper, and 1 ½ teaspoons annatto powder in a large bowl. Add chicken, stir to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
