Instructions

1. In this recipe, I have used a whole chicken skinned (apart from the wings) and have cut it into pieces.
2. In a large bowl add your chicken pieces and squeeze the juice of one lemon over the meat.
3. Stir the meat to evenly distribute the lemon juice and set aside for 15 to 20 mins
4. Add enough water to cover the meat and then pour it off directly into the sink to remove the acidic lemon juice. Alternatively, you can use a paper towel to remove the lemon juice and avoid rinsing.
5. Add all of the ingredients to the meat and mix thoroughly to combine. The vegetable oil can be added at this stage or to the pan before adding the meat.
6. Place a large pan over medium-high heat.
7. After 1 minute add the oil and allow to heat through for another minute.
8. Add the meat and stir the ingredients in the pan.
9. Cover and allow to simmer. NB: The chicken will spring it's own juice. Allow the meat to cook in these juices and only add additional liquid if necessary.
10. Check the pot every 15 minutes and stir the ingredients to allow even colouring of the meat.
11. Allow cooking for 45 mins in total.
12. Serve as desired. Enjoy!
