Peel and mince the garlic.
In a small bowl, dissolve the atsuete seeds in hot water. Stir for several minutes or until the red color is extracted. Set aside.

Push the chicken pieces to the sides of the pan. Add the onions and cook for a few seconds until soft, then add the garlic and saute until light brown and aromatic.
Stir in the fish sauce. Then add the vinegar, whole peppercorns, and bay leaves. Allow to cook for a few more minutes without stirring.
Remove the atsuete seeds from the soaking solution and pour the red liquid into the pan. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 20 minutes on low to medium heat.
