Boil the eggs in simmering water for about 10 minutes until hard-boiled. Immediately transfer them to cold water to cool, then carefully peel.
Sterilize the canning jars and lids in boiling water for 10 minutes, then let them air dry completely.
Thinly slice the red onion and garlic, and place them at the bottom of the jars.
Place the peeled eggs in the jars, layering with bay leaves, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, and chopped chili pepper in between.
In a medium saucepan, bring the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a boil, then let it cool slightly.
Pour the slightly cooled brine over the eggs in the jars, making sure they are completely submerged.
Seal the jars and let them cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 48 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
The spicy pickled eggs will be best after 4-5 days of pickling, but they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
