🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Honey adds sweetness with fewer calories.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: liquid aminos

Tamari is gluten-free and offers a similar flavor.

chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: pork

Turkey is leaner, while pork can be less expensive.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth reduces sodium while adding flavor.

Cut chicken drumsticks in half using a sharp knife and a hammer to break the bone.

Wash chicken with salt, vinegar, and fresh lime juice.

Add fresh lemon juice over the chicken.

Add Haitian seasoning (hippies) to the chicken.

Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, and all-purpose seasoning on the chicken.

Add pimento seeds and black pepper to the chicken.

Add chopped green, red, and orange bell peppers, onions, scallions, and ginger to the chicken.

Remove leaves from fresh thyme and add to the chicken mixture.

Add a small amount of browning sauce for color and mix well with hands to coat the chicken evenly.

Allow the chicken to marinate for about 1 hour or overnight.

Heat avocado oil in a pot until hot.

Add marinated chicken to the pot and let it cook without moving it to allow it to color.

Once browned on both sides, add back the bell peppers, onions, and pimento seeds.

Squeeze a little ketchup on top and add enough water to half cover the chicken.

Cover and cook until the chicken is tender.
