Add 2-3 fresh pimento seeds (all spice berries) to the pot.

Prepare the chicken by seasoning with 1 teaspoon chicken seasoning, half teaspoon black pepper, half teaspoon garlic granules, 1 teaspoon garlic ginger and pimento seasoning, and quarter teaspoon all-purpose seasoning.

Let the seasoned chicken sit for about 5 minutes before adding it to the pot.

Once the stock is ready, add the seasoned chicken to the simmering pot.

Add the whole scotch bonnet pepper to the pot for flavor, which will be removed later.
