INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 🍗 3 pounds chicken drumsticks and thighs

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 1 onion, coarsely chopped
    • 🧄 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • Condiments

    • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
    • 1 cup low sodium soy sauce

  • Spices and Seasonings

    • 2 bay leaves
    • 10 whole black peppercorns
    • 1 cinnamon stick

  • Oil

    • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • Liquids

    • 💧 1 cup water

STEPS

1

Heat canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, and pan-fry the chicken drumsticks and thighs until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken pieces, and set aside. Stir onion and garlic into the hot skillet, and cook and stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes.

2

Pour in apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and water; stir in bay leaves, peppercorns, and the cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, scraping up and dissolving any browned flavor bits from the bottom of the pan. Return chicken pieces and any juice that has formed to the pan.

3

Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and simmer until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 45 minutes.
