What's In it:
- 2 tbsp Beef Tallow (instead of seed oil or olive oil) Learn More
- 5 Chicken Drumsticks (approx 1.75lb)
-
5 Chicken Thighs - Bone In (Approx 1.75lb)
- 1 Large Yellow Onion (Quartered and sliced 1/2 inch thick)
- 2.5 tbsp Spice Beast Jacked Garlic and Onion
- 5 Bay Leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 cup cane vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1/3 cup Coconut Aminos
- 1 green onion for garnish
How to Make it:
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of tallow in a large pot over medium heat until it starts to shimmer. Add 5 drumsticks and cook until brown on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add 5 thighs to the pot and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the plate with the drumsticks.
-
Add 1 onion, Jacked Garlic & Onion, 5 bay leaves and 1/4 teaspoon peppercorns to the pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic just begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add 1 cup vinegar and 1/3 cup soy sauce and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits. Return the chicken to the pot and turn to coat with the sauce. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is very tender, about 1 hour.
-
Transfer the chicken to a clean plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook, stirring often, until reduced by about one-third, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve chicken with sauce, slicing the green onion to scatter over the top.
