Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup white vinegar
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cups white rice (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, white vinegar, pineapple juice, brown sugar, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Mix well.
Step 2
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for best results.
Step 3
Heat a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear the chicken thighs skin-side down until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
Pour the reserved marinade into the pot and bring it to a simmer. Add coconut milk and stir until combined.
Step 5
Return the chicken thighs to the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let the chicken simmer for 25-30 minutes, flipping occasionally, until fully cooked and tender.
Step 6
Stir in the pineapple chunks during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Step 7
Remove the chicken and pineapple from the pot and arrange on a serving platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the top for added flavor.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with steamed white rice, if desired.
