Instructions

Whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and brown sugar until sugar dissolves.
Place chicken in a bag or dish, pour in marinade, seal, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Brown chicken in a skillet, then pour in reserved marinade and simmer gently.
Cook for 30-35 minutes, flipping thighs halfway, until chicken is tender.
Chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) and be tender.
Boil sauce until it lightly coats the back of a spoon.
Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over, and let rest for 5 minutes.
Plate over rice or veggies, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
