Cut excess fat off chicken wings and legs; rinse with lime and vinegar to clean.

Season chicken with Shadow Benny, chives, onion, garlic, pimento peppers, grated ginger, and thyme; mix well and marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours.

In a hot pot, add brown sugar and oil; stir until sugar melts and turns a rich brown color without burning.

Add marinated chicken to the pot and stir; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until chicken releases juices.

Add ketchup (or tomato paste), chicken bouillon, and the remaining seasoning from the marinating bowl with some water.

Add chopped carrots, allspice, cloves, and more thyme; cover and let boil down.

Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt; let some water evaporate to achieve desired gravy consistency.

Prepare dumplings by mixing flour, salt, and water; knead into a firm dough and shape into logs.

Boil dumplings in water until they float; check sweet potatoes for doneness with a knife.

Plate the stew chicken with extra gravy and serve with dumplings and sweet potatoes.
