🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Add chicken to a large mixing bowl and season with salt, black pepper, pimento, all-purpose seasoning, paprika, and browning.

Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken overnight for maximum results.

In a large frying pan, add vegetable oil and heat until hot.

Add sugar to the hot oil and caramelize it until it gets dark brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan and brown them on each side, ensuring they are coated in the caramelized sugar.

Add onions, garlic, thyme, scotch bonnet, and a little water, just slightly above the chicken or just below.

Mix everything up and cook down for around 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the chicken is nice and tender.
