Cut the chicken into pieces, removing any unwanted parts like gizzards.

Place the cut chicken and oxtail in a large pot.

Add enough water to cover the meat, approximately over half of the pot.

Add the oxtail first as it takes longer to cook.

Season the meat with spices, including oregano and salt.

Add chopped onions and squeeze garlic into the pot.

Mix the ingredients in the pot and let it marinate for about an hour.

Cover the pot and cook until the meat is tender and falls off the bone, checking after an hour.

Once the oxtail is halfway cooked, add the chicken to the pot.

Continue cooking until both meats are tender.

Add the green plantains, cassava, small potatoes, corn, and pumpkin to the pot.

Cook until all vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
