In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with chopped onions, garlic, minced ginger, the berbere spice blend, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for at least 40 minutes.

Heat a few tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the remaining chopped onions and sauté until translucent.

Add the remaining minced garlic and ginger to the pot and cook for another minute.

Stir in the tomato paste and the rest of the berbere spice blend. Cook, stirring constantly, for a couple of minutes until fragrant.

Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides.

Pour in the chicken broth or water, enough to cover the chicken pieces. Bring to a simmer, then cover the pot and let it cook over low heat for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Once the chicken is cooked, gently place the hard-boiled eggs into the pot, nestling them among the chicken pieces.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.

Simmer uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
