Cut away any extra fat from the chicken thighs.
Warm a pot over medium-high heat, then sear the chicken thighs on every side until they brown.
Toss the onions, garlic, and coarse ground black pepper into the pot.
Mix the soy sauce, cane vinegar, brown sugar, and bay leaves into the pot, then pour in enough water to completely submerge the chicken.
Stir everything well, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Take off the lid and continue bubbling uncovered for roughly 10 minutes to thicken and concentrate the liquid.
Sample the sauce and alter the seasonings to suit your taste, then serve hot on top of rice, with a green onions garnish if you like.
