CARIBBEAN CHICKEN

INGREDIENTS

3 lbs chicken breast cut into large chunks

4-6 chicken thighs

4-6 drumsticks

2 large tomatoes, sliced into big chunks

2 large onions, cut into large chunks

4-6 garlic cloves, chopped

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

2 tsp dried thyme

3 Tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp sugar

1/2 cup tomato sauce

Method

Place first 12 ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Let chicken stand in seasonings for at least 30 minutes, cover and place in the fridge.

In a large heavy pot, heat oil over high flame.

Add the sugar distributed through the bottom of the pan. When the sugar begins to bubble and the colour is getting a light brown take pieces of chicken and drop them into the pot. Make sure you don't burn the sugar though. Do a few pieces at a time and brown well on both sides.

When all pieces are browned return all the chicken pieces to the pot, add ketchup and the marinade. Add 1-2 cups of water and stir until blended. Bring chicken to a rapid boil, then lower the flame, cover pot partially, and let cook for 1 hour. U may have to stir once or twice. Serve over brown rice.

#NOTE: If u have too much liquid at 45 minutes, uncover the pot and turn the heat to a high setting. Some of the liquid will cook away. I like my gravy on the thicker side so this is what I do around 45 minutes.
