- Add peppers, garlic, tomatoes, half the onions, half the vinegar and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a 8x8 baking dish (for 4 ppl use a 9x13 dish).

- Once hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) then chicken, skin side down. (NOTE: does this need to be done in batches for 4 p?)

- Add onions, remaining vinegar, 2 tbsp water and 1 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a small pot. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Once simmering, cook, stirring often, until sugar dissolves and onions begin to soften, 1-2 min.
