Add chicken thighs, optionally removing some skin, and mix with the onions and garlic.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, approximately half a teaspoon of salt, and mix well.

Add yellow chili pepper and one teaspoon of aji panca, mixing everything together.

Add a quarter cup (2 ounces) of water, just enough for the chicken to cook well, and mix.

Cover the pot and let it cook for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, check the chicken; it should be fully cooked without falling apart.

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed, using a piece of potato to absorb excess salt if over-seasoned.

Serve with boiled potatoes and garnish with julienned onions, diced tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice.
