Ingredients

  • 1.5-2 lbs of Chicken legs and/or thighs skin optional
  • 1/2 c Browning
  • 2 tbs Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tbs Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tbs Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tbs Allspice
  • 1/2 tbs Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tbs Peppercorn
  • 5 Sprigs of Fresh Thyme or 1tbs Dried Thyme
  • 4 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 tsp Minced Ginger
  • 1 tbs Ketchup
  • 3 Carrots sliced
  • 1 large tomato diced
  • 1 White onion sliced
  • 3 Peppers green, red, orange, sliced
  • 2 Scotch Bonnet Peppers Optional
  • 1 c Water
  • 1 tbs Cooking Oil of choice

Instructions

  • To a large bowl or freezer bag, add all ingredients, including your chicken.
  • Mix all ingredients to ensure that everything is covered with the seasonings/marinade. Basically, your chicken and vegetables should be brown because its covered with the seasonings/marinade.
  • Marinate your chicken and vegetables for 1-24 hours. I find that the longer I marinate it, the more flavorful this dish is.
  • When you're ready to cook the dish, bring a large skillet to medium-high heat.
  • Add oil to the skillet and place only your chicken into the skillet. Brown your chicken on each side for 1-2 minutes. This will slightly cook the exterior of your chicken.
  • Take the chicken out and sit to the side.
  • Add your vegetables to the skillet and saute them until they start to get tender.
  • Place your chicken back into the skillet and pour in the remaining marinade and water.
  • Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked.
  • Serve hot with rice and beans.
