👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   In a large resealable plastic bag or bowl, combine the sliced onions, chopped garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, chopped ginger, lime zest, chopped scotch bonnet, cracked black peppercorns, cayenne pepper, bay leaf, and salt. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Strain the marinade through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, separating the solids (onions, garlic, etc.) from the liquid. Set both aside.

   💡 プロのコツ: This separation allows for better control of the onion caramelization and sauce consistency.
3. 3

   Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken pieces and sear until golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken to a plate.

4. 4

   Add the reserved marinade solids (onions, garlic, etc.) to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and started to caramelize.

   💡 プロのコツ: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot as you stir.
5. 5

   Return the seared chicken to the pot. Pour in the reserved marinade liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the chicken is nestled into the sauce.
6. 6

   Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. If the sauce is too thin, you can simmer it uncovered for a few minutes to reduce it slightly.

   💡 プロのコツ: The sauce should be rich and flavorful.
7. 7
