Instructions

5 steps

1
Marinate: Season the chicken pieces with the browning sauce, chopped scallions, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub well to coat every piece in the dark coloring. Marinate for at least 1 hour.

2
Brown the chicken: Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade veggies) and fry the pieces on both sides until deeply browned and sealed (about 10 mins).
3
Sauté the aromatics: Remove the chicken temporarily. In the same pot, add the reserved marinade vegetables, sliced bell pepper, and sauté for 3 minutes.
4
Create the gravy: Return the chicken to the pot. Add 2 cups of water, the whole scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, and the ketchup. Bring to a boil.
5
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is tender and the liquid has reduced into a thick, rich, brown gravy.
