1 whole chicken cut into small parts
2 tbsp chopped shadon beni
2 tbsp chopped thyme leaves
3 – 4 blades chives, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
Juice of 1 lime
1 medium onion chopped
1 cup water
3 – 4 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
Directions
- Place chicken into a bowl. Add the herbs, garlic, salt, black pepper and lime juice. Mix well to ensure the chicken is well coated with the seasoning.
- Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the sugar. Let it melt and cook until golden to dark brown.
