Cut the whole chicken into pieces and squeeze lemon all over it, then wash the chicken.

Rub ricado all over the chicken until it is well coated and red.

Add black pepper and table salt to the chicken, working it in on both sides.

Prepare a marinade by blending organ meat, tomato, onion, cilantro, yellow peppers, and a little water in a Magic Bullet.

Heat 1/4 cup of canola oil in a shallow skillet and brown the chicken pieces on both sides.

Once browned, add the marinade to the skillet along with a little water to reduce the noise from cooking.

Allow the chicken to cook for another 30 minutes, adding water as needed to keep it from drying out.

After about 45 minutes total cooking time, leave some gravy in the pot before serving.
