Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• 2 tablespoons water, or as needed
• ¼ cup vinegar
• 3 large onions, diced
• 8 skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed
• 5 tomatoes, diced, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk vinegar, garlic, and paprika together in a large bowl. Add chicken and turn to coat. Let marinate in the refrigerate, at least 1 hour.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until golden, about 5 minutes. Add chicken, discarding marinade; cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.

Step 3

Stir tomatoes, bay leaves, and salt into the skillet. Add a little water to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to medium and cook, adding water to thin sauce as needed, until chicken is tender, about 40 minutes.
