In a cup, whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar and peppercorns; set aside.
Dab skin on chicken dry with paper towels.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 3 thighs to pot, skin side down; let sear until golden brown on bottoms, about 4 - 6 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a platter; repeat with remaining thighs; add garlic to the chicken during the last 30 seconds just to remove harsh bite.
Remove pan from heat; carefully pour in vinegar mixture; return 3 chicken pieces to the pot, skin side down; nestle in bay leaves. Return pan to heat; bring sauce just to a boil; reduce heat to low; cover; simmer 20 minutes.
Flip chicken over; continue to simmer, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes longer.
Remove bay leaves.
Serve chicken immediately over rice with sauce spooned over the top.
6 servings.
