Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Heat about 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside, leaving about 2-3 tablespoons of oil in the pot.

Add the chopped onions to the pot and sautรฉ until translucent. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and break down, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in the carrots, green beans, bell peppers, and scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Cook for another 5 minutes.

Crumble in the chicken bouillon cubes and stir to combine. Return the fried chicken to the pot. Stir everything to coat with the vegetable mixture. Add about 1/2 cup of water if needed to create a sauce. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

While the stew simmers, heat enough vegetable oil for deep-frying in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Fry the sliced plantains until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Once the stew is ready, stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Serve the Poulet DG hot, accompanied by the fried plantains.
