Wash and clean the chicken in lemon juice, then cut it into preferred sizes.

Season the chicken with olive oil, all-purpose seasoning, chicken seasoning, smoked paprika, black pepper, pimento seed, onion, garlic, sweet pepper, ginger, tomato, thyme, scallion, and scotch bonnet pepper.

Massage the seasoning into the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Brown the sugar in a pot with olive oil until caramelized, ensuring the heat is not too high to avoid burning.

Add the marinated chicken to the pot and leave it uncovered for 5 minutes to develop color and liquid.

Add 1.5 cups of water to the pot, along with 1 tablespoon of ketchup and the remaining seasoning.

Cover the pot partially and let it cook for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, add 1 teaspoon of sugar (optional), Irish potato, remaining scallion, thyme, and carrot.

Increase the heat slightly and cook for an additional 6 to 7 minutes until the gravy thickens.
