STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Whisk garlic, white parts of green onions, brown sugar, thyme, habanero, vinegar, ginger, salt, pepper, paprika, and allspice in a bowl to create marinade.

3

Make cuts into the skin side of each chicken thigh and coat them with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

4

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan over medium-high heat and brown chicken thighs on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.

5

Set chicken aside. Use the same pan to caramelize diced onions with a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.

6

Add chicken broth, ketchup, and bay leaves to the pan, bring to a boil, and add carrots, bell peppers, chicken thighs, and remaining marinade.

7

Simmer on medium-low heat for 1 to 1.5 hours, until chicken is tender and sauce is reduced. Skim excess fat and occasionally baste with sauce.

8

Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with green parts of green onions before serving.
