- Bring 7 c. water to a boil in a large saucepan, add in chick- en (and a little more water to cover if needed). Skim off any grayish foam which rises during the first few min of simmering. Add in black pepper, cumin, oregano, bay leaves, 1 teaspoon salt and garlic. Partially cover and simmer gently for 20 to 25 min, till the juices run clear when the thighs are pierced with a knife (boned thighs will cook in 15 to 20 min). Remove from the heat and cold the chicken in the cooking liquid, if time permits.
- With a slotted spoon, remove thighs from the broth and set them on a plate.
- Strain broth, skim fat and set aside 2 1/2 c. in the refrigerator.
- Rub 1 Tbsp. Mixed Spice Paste over the side of the chicken which has been skinned and let it stand 1 hour uncovered in the refrigerator. Lightly dust the spice covered side of the chicken with flour, patting gently to proportionately distribute it over the surface and remove any excess.
- Rinse onions, drain thoroughly and set aside with chilies. Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add in oil, and when it is warm, add in chicken, spice-side down, and fry till crisp, about 4 to 5 min. Drain on paper towels and keep hot in a 200 degree F. oven.
- Return the pan to the heat and add in onions and chilies. Cook over medium for 4 to 5 min, stirring occasionally, till the onions soften. Add in vinegar, reserved broth and remaining 1/2 Tbsp. spice paste, stirring to dissolve the paste. Simmer for several min to blend the flavors. Taste for salt and vinegar. Place 2 thighs in each of 4 bowls. Top with a portion of the onion mix and the broth.
