1

Clean and trim the chicken back, removing fat and skin, and chop into desired pieces.

Wash the chicken thoroughly with vinegar and lemon juice, then rinse with pure water.

Season the chicken with fish and meat gravy sauce, pimento, paprika, ginger, all-purpose seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, onion, bell pepper, scallion, and thyme; leave to marinate.

4

Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large pot and add 1 tablespoon of sugar to caramelize.

5

Add the marinated chicken to the pot and stir to mix everything evenly in the oil.

6

Cover the pot and cook on medium to high heat, checking every 5 minutes for sufficient liquid; add chicken broth instead of water as needed.
