Cut up and wash the chicken with lemon juice and cool water.

Season chicken with fresh ground black pepper, sea salt, Worcestershire sauce, and curry powder.

Add Caribbean green seasoning and mix well to marinate the chicken.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast iron pot.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of golden brown sugar to the oil and let it caramelize to a dark amber color.

Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pot in small batches to sear them.

Once the chicken is browned, add water to the pot and mix well.

Cover the pot and let the chicken create its own juices for about 4 minutes.

Remove the lid, crank up the heat to high, and let the liquid burn off to enhance color and flavor.
