1. Crush the garlic in a mortar and pestle.
2. Put the chicken, soy sauce and crushed garlic in a large bowl, mix well and marinate for at least 1 hour.
3. Lift the chicken out with tongs. Scoop the garlic out of the marinade with a slotted spoon and keep the garlic and marinade separate.
4. Heat a pot and add 3 tablespoons of oil. When hot, fry the chicken for 2 minutes per side, then set aside.
5. Add the remaining oil to the same pot and fry the reserved garlic until it starts to brown.
6. Return the chicken to the pot, then add the remaining marinade, peppercorns and bay leaves. Pour in the water and bring to a boil.
7. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.
8. Pour in the vinegar and boil for 1 minute without stirring. Then stir and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
9. Add sugar and salt to taste, stir, and turn off the heat. Serve hot with rice.
