- 1/4 cup distilled vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 habanero, thinly sliced

Instructions
- Watch how to make this recipe.
- Combine the chicken with the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, black pepper and habanero in a resealable plastic bag. Marinate overnight, refrigerated.
- Remove the chicken from the bag and pat dry (reserve the marinade).
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until brown, about 4 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onions soften and are slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Strain the marinade and add it to the Dutch oven along with 4 cups water. Return the chicken to the pan and bring to a slow simmer. Add the bay leaves and cook until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced, about 20 minutes. Finish with the fresh parsley.
- Serve with jasmine rice and lime wedges.
