Use a whole chicken, cut it up, and wash it thoroughly.

Place the pan on the stove and add the spice mix to coat all pieces of chicken.

4

Add a little more salt to help the chicken release its juices during cooking.

5

Add chili pepper if desired, and mix well.

6

Cover the pan and cook the chicken over medium heat until it releases its juices.

7

If the chicken seems dry, add a little water; otherwise, let it cook until the broth evaporates and the chicken is golden.
