👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Season chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown chicken pieces on all sides until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.
3
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
4
Add minced garlic and chopped bell pepper, cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
5
Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6
Add chopped tomatoes, chicken broth, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and allspice. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure all browned bits are incorporated for extra flavor.
7
Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Ensure they are mostly submerged in the liquid. Cover and reduce heat to low.
💡 전문가 팁: If the liquid doesn't cover most of the chicken, add a little more broth or water.
8
Simmer gently for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally.
💡 전문가 팁: The sauce should thicken naturally. If it's too thin, remove the lid for the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
9
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
💡 전문가 팁: A touch of sugar can balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
10
Serve hot, garnished with chopped scallions.

💡 전문가 팁

✓For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of salt, pepper, thyme, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
✓Don't rush the simmering process; slow cooking allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
✓This dish is excellent served with rice, cou-cou (though you've excluded it from generation), or boiled/baked breadfruit.
