1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the peppers until lightly charred and crisp tender, stirring
occasionally, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a platter and set aside.
Season the chicken with salt, add the remaining oil to the skillet, and
place the chicken smooth side down and cook until golden brown on
both sides, about 8 minutes. Scatter the garlic and bay leaves around
the chicken, then add 4 cups water, the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, 2
teaspoons salt, pepper, and red pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil;
adjust heat to maintain a simmer. Cook, uncovered, turning the
chicken occasionally, until tender, about 20 minutes.

2. Transfer the chicken to the platter. Remove and discard bay leaves.
Whisk the cornstarch mixture into sauce and simmer, whisking
constantly, until it thickens a bit. Return the chicken and any juices to
the sauce and simmer gently, turning the chicken occasionally, until it
is very tender and glazed, about 8 minutes more. Stir in the peppers
and serve over rice, if desired.
Know-How: Rather than chopping, breeze through 15 cloves of garlic
in no time by smashing them with the flat side of your knife.
