Cut the chicken into pieces and remove the skin, saving the skin to fry for oil.

Wash the chicken with lime and salt, rinsing it thoroughly.

Season the chicken with 3 tablespoons of all-purpose seasoning, 1/2 tablespoon of ginger powder, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 2 tablespoons of green seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of Grace browning.

Massage the seasoning into the chicken and place it in a bowl to marinate for 2 hours.

Fry the chicken skin in a pot over medium heat until it releases oil, then remove the skin and set aside.

Season the oil in the pot with a piece of scallion, thyme, and one pepper before adding the chicken pieces.

Fry the chicken for 3 minutes on each side until browned, then remove from the pot.

Add 1 cup of hot water to the pot to rinse out the seasoning, along with some thyme and one pepper (do not burst the pepper).

Cover and cook for 5 minutes before adding the potato, carrot, and tomato, along with 2 spoons of ketchup (optional).

Cover and cook for another 5 minutes before adding the remaining onions, scallions, and sweet peppers.

Cover for 5 more minutes, then serve.
