👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Season chicken pieces with salt and stock cube. In a pot, brown the chicken in a little oil until golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- 2
In the same pot, add palm oil and heat gently. Add chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook until they break down and form a sauce, about 10 minutes.
- 5
Return the browned chicken to the pot. Add ground crayfish and water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until chicken is almost tender.
- 6
Add the sliced okra to the pot. Stir well and continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 15-20 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the sauce has thickened. Avoid over-stirring once okra is added to prevent it from becoming too slimy.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Serve hot.
