Add brown sugar to a large pot to make browning for the chicken, letting it melt until medium to dark brown.

Add chicken wings and chicken feet to the pot after browning the sugar.

After 10 minutes, add chopped carrots and the rest of the aromatics including ginger, thyme, pimento peppers, onions, scallion, shadow benny, and green peppers.

Add water to the pot, aiming for a gravy consistency because dumplings and plantains will be added.

After 10 minutes of cooking, add the green plantain to the pot.

Continue cooking while rolling out dumplings.

Add a little tip of brown sugar, ketchup, hot sauce, and a little bit of cinnamon powder towards the end of cooking.

Cover the pot for the last 10 minutes of cooking to finish the dish.
