Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Cook the rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, using kitchen shears, cut the chicken in half, cutting lengthwise down one side of the breast; season with salt and pepper. Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven or saucepan over high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Drain most of the fat from the pan, reserving about 2 tablespoons. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan, skin side up; add 2 cups water, soy sauce, sugar, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer. Place the green onions on top of the chicken; cover and cook until the onion is soft and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid from the pan and add the vinegar (do not stir). Cook, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced by about two-thirds, 8–10 minutes. Remove the chicken and green onions; discard the bay leaves from the sauce. Serve with rice.
