| 2 | Boneless skinless chicken breasts |
| 2 | Boneless skinless chicken thighs |
| 8-12 | Garlic cloves |
| 2 tsp | Ground ginger |
| 1 1/2 tsp | Cayenne pepper |

Instructions:
- Place the chicken pieces in a large Ziploc bag.

- Add the marinade to the Ziploc bag with the chicken.
- Seal the bag, removing any excess air, and knead it gently to ensure the meat is evenly coated with the marinade.

- After marinating, transfer the chicken and marinade to a large pot over low heat.
- Add the whole peppercorns and bay leaves to the pot.

- Alternatively, you can cook the chicken in a crockpot on high for 6 hours for a hands-off approach.
