Servings:4
  • 1 kg Chicken thighs and drumsticks
  • 1 1/2 cups Coconut milk (Gata)
  • 1/2 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup Cane vinegar
  • 6 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Whole black peppercorns

  • 1 teaspoon Brown sugar(optional)

    In a large bowl, marinate the chicken in soy sauce, minced garlic, and peppercorns for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and sear the chicken pieces until browned on all sides, then set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same pan, pour in the remaining marinade and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Add the vinegar and bay leaves; let it boil for 2-3 minutes without stirring to cook off the raw acidic taste.

    Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes until the chicken is tender.

  6. 6

    Pour in the coconut milk and add the brown sugar and chili flakes if using.

  7. 7

    Simmer uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens and starts to render oil.

  8. 8

    Serve hot over steamed white rice.
