Wash and clean the chicken, trimming off the skin.

In a bowl, add curry powder, all-purpose seasoning, ground ginger, and black pepper to the chicken.

Add chopped onion, scallion, and garlic to the chicken and mix to season.

Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and let it infuse overnight (or several hours).

In a large nonstick pot, heat olive oil and add curry powder, cooking for about a minute to 'burn' the curry.

Add the seasoned chicken to the pot, browning it for several minutes.

Add the excess onion, scallion, and garlic mixture to the pot with the chicken.

Add thyme, pimento berries, hot water, and sweet potato to the pot, stirring quickly.

Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and cover to simmer.

Check halfway through cooking, tucking in sweet potatoes to absorb liquid for thickening the gravy.

Once cooked, remove the lid and add pink salt to taste, stirring in to finish.
