Instructions

1. Clean the chicken well and place it in a deep pot. Season with the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, salt, thyme, curry powder and chicken seasoning cubes.
2. Mix the seasoning, cover the pot and let the chicken steam in its own juices on low heat.
3. After 10 minutes, add the water, cover and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is about 80% done.
4. Turn off the heat, wait 10 minutes, then separate the meat from the stock.
5. Blend the tomatoes, bell peppers, scotch bonnet peppers and onions until smooth, adding the tomatoes first.
6. Put the blended mixture in a pot and reduce it over medium heat, without stirring while it boils.
7. Boil for about 30 minutes, until most of the water has evaporated.
8. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wide pan and fry the chicken. You can also grill or air-fry it instead.
9. After frying, pour off most of the oil, return the pan to heat and add the boiled-down pepper mix.
10. Season with curry powder, thyme and chicken seasoning cube, and fry for about 10 minutes on medium heat, covering the pan most of the way if it splashes.
11. When oil rises to the top, add the chicken stock and mix, then add the fried chicken. Adjust the seasoning, and add more stock or water if too thick.
12. Simmer for about 10 minutes on low to medium heat.
