📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prep
2
Gather and prep your ingredients.
3
Arrange the chicken pieces in a large pot in one layer. Remove the skin if desired.
4
Marinate
5
Combine the rest of the ingredients (soy sauce, vinegar, honey, oil, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns) in a bowl and whisk until the honey is dissolved. Partially crush the peppercorns if desired. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.**

6
Boil
7
When you’re ready to make the chicken, add just enough water so that the liquid comes just up to the top of the chicken (about 1/2 cup). Cover the pot with a lid, place the pot over a high flame, and bring it up to a rolling boil. When it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium/low and let simmer for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
8
Brown
9
Preheat your broiler on high. Remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a broiler pan (or a sheet pan with wire cooling racks placed on top). Place the chicken under the broiler until it is brown and crispy on top (⏱️ 5-10 minutes), depending on your broiler).
10
Reduce
11
While the chicken is broiling, turn pot with the soy/vinegar liquid up to high and bring up to a rapid boil. Allow the liquid to boil heavily until it is reduced in volume by approximately one half. You may need to boil it for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes longer than the chicken is in the oven to get it to this point.
12
Baste
13
Use a soft brush to baste a few layers of the reduced soy/vinegar liquid onto the browned chicken. You can also toss the chicken in the sauce instead. Serve over rice or noodles and spoon more of the reduced liquid over top.
