Brazilian Chicken A Mineira - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 teaspoons paprika
8 skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 large onions, diced
5 tomatoes, diced, or more to taste
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water, or as needed

Preparation

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.
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.
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.
