Ingredients

• 6 pieces Bone-in chicken thighs (skin-on optional)
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup White vinegar
• 0.5 cup Water
• 5 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 pieces Bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns (crushed lightly)
• 1 medium Onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs on both sides until golden and lightly browned. This will take about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the crock pot.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, white vinegar, water, minced garlic, brown sugar, and black peppercorns. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the crock pot.

Step 3

Add the sliced onion and bay leaves on top of the chicken. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed in the pot.

Step 4

Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and infused with the soy-vinegar flavor.

Step 5

Once the cooking time is complete, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed (e.g., add a pinch of salt or more sugar, depending on your preference).

Step 6

Remove the bay leaves and discard.

Step 7

Serve the Philippine Chicken hot over cooked white rice. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
