👨🍳 Instrukcje

Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear chicken pieces until golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.

Add chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Return chicken to the pot. Add thyme sprigs, chopped scallions, and the whole Scotch bonnet pepper. Pour in water or chicken broth to cover the chicken.

Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until chicken is tender.

While the chicken simmers, prepare the dumplings. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: The dough should be soft but not sticky. Add a little more water or flour if needed. - 6
Remove the whole Scotch bonnet pepper from the pot. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the broth is too thin, you can let it simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce slightly.

Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering broth. Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Avoid lifting the lid during the first 10 minutes of cooking the dumplings to ensure they steam properly. - 8
