Prepare the ingredients: chop onion, scallions, bell pepper, and garlic. Measure out black pepper, ginger, tomato, pimento seasoning, garlic powder, salt, scotch bonnet pepper sauce, ketchup, and water.

Season the chicken thighs with ginger garlic pimento seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well and allow to marinate for 2 hours to overnight.

Heat a skillet and sear the marinated chicken thighs until nice and brown on both sides.

Remove 75% of the oil from the skillet, then add chopped onions and sauté for about 10 minutes.

Add salt and pepper to the onions, and save fresh thyme for the last 10-15 minutes of cooking.

Add ketchup and scotch bonnet pepper sauce to the skillet, mixing well.

Add water to the skillet and bring to a simmer.

Add a cap full of Grace Brown sauce to the skillet, being careful not to add too much to avoid bitterness.

Return the browned chicken to the skillet, reduce heat to medium, cover, and allow to simmer for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and sauce is thick.

Add fresh thyme to the skillet during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Adjust seasoning if necessary and increase heat if sauce needs thickening.

Serve the chicken with rice and cucumbers, drizzling sauce over the chicken.
