Method of making the Caribbean Chicken
- Place first 12 ingredients into a large bowl and mix well.
- Let chicken stand in seasonings for at least 30 minutes, like in the pictures, cover and place in the fridge.
- I have done between 30 minutes to 1 hour most times. In a large heavy skillet or la cruset pot heat oil over high flame.
- Add the sugar distributed through the bottom of the pan like in the pictures. When the sugar begins to bubble and color is getting a pale to dark brown take chicken pieces and arrange them into the pan.
- Cook them on all sides until they brown a bit for about 2-3 minutes.Add ketchup, marinade, 2 cups of water and stir until blended.
- Bring chicken to a rapid boil, then lower the flame, cover pan partially, and let cook for 1 hour stirring in between 2-3 times.
- Garnished with fresh herbs and serve hot over brown rice. Enjoy and let me know your experience 👍🥰😋
