Preparation

Step 1

In a large glass baking dish, mix vinegar, garlic, bay leaf, peppercorns and soy sauce; add chicken and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator 1 hour.

Transfer chicken and its marinade to a large saucepan. Add water and heat to boiling over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 20 minutes. With tongs, transfer chicken to a plate to cool.

Boil cooking liquid until it is reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Let sauce cool and strain into a small saucepan. Skim off fat and reheat.

Pat chicken dry with paper towels. In a large skillet, heat oil over high heat until very hot. Brown chicken in batches, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a deep platter and pour hot sauce over chicken.
