Prepare the chicken by washing it with water and lime juice. Pat dry.

In a small bowl, combine the grated nutmeg, all-purpose seasoning, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Rub the spice mixture generously over the chicken thighs, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken thighs to the hot oil, skin-side down. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 3-4 minutes.

Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, and finely chopped Scotch bonnet pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir well, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Add the water or chicken stock to create a light sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid.
