Method

6 steps · 60 minutes

Marinate the thighs in the soy, garlic and pepper for 30 minutes. No salt anywhere in this — the soy is the salt.
Lift them out and brown them skin down in a dry pan. There is enough fat in the skin.
Pour the marinade back in with the vinegar and bay, and do not stir for the first 5 minutes. Stirring early keeps the vinegar sharp and raw.
Simmer covered for 30 minutes, then uncovered for 10 to reduce.
The sauce should end up dark and barely there, coating the chicken rather than swimming around it.
Scallions over the top. It is better the next day, which is the point of a braise built on vinegar.
