Method
- 1
Crush the garlic and put it in a pan with the chicken, dark soy sauce, white wine vinegar, bay leaves and black peppercorns.
- 2
Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes without stirring so the vinegar can lose its raw edge.
- 3
Stir, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally.
- 4
Uncover and simmer for a final 8-10 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened and the chicken has no pink left at the bone.
- 5
Serve with steamed rice.
