Ingredients: 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs / 680g); ½ cup white vinegar; ¼ cup soy sauce; 6 cloves garlic, smashed; 1 bay leaf; ½ teaspoon black pepper; 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; ¾ cup water or chicken stock; 1.5 cups cooked jasmine rice (freshly made or reheated); 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for crispy garlic); 8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced; 1 cup shredded or julienned green papaya; 2 tablespoons white vinegar (for pickles); 1 teaspoon salt; 1 red bird's eye chili, sliced

Succulent bone-in chicken thighs braise in a simple but profound sauce of vinegar, soy, and garlic until fall-apart tender. The rice soaks up every drop of the savory-tangy liquid. A pile of crispy fried garlic and tart pickled green papaya cuts through the richness with brilliant clarity.
