  • Combine chicken, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, peppercorns, garlic, and bay leaves in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, basting chicken occasionally with the sauce.
  • Remove the lid and continue to simmer until liquid has reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  • Serve chicken hot and drizzle with strained sauce.
