Ingredients

• ✓ baby bell pepper
• carrot
• bay leaf
• ketchup
• chicken broth
• brown sugar
• kosher salt
• yellow onion
• olive oil
• chicken thigh
• allspice
• paprika
• black pepper
• kosher salt
• ginger root
• cider vinegar
• habanero pepper
• thyme
• brown sugar
• green onion
• garlic

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Whisk garlic, white parts of green onions, brown sugar, thyme, habanero, vinegar, ginger, salt, pepper, paprika, and allspice together in a large mixing bowl.
3. 3 Make 2 cuts, about 1-inch apart, into the skin side of each thigh, perpendicular to the bone, cutting all the way down to the bone.
4. 4 Add chicken thighs to marinade; mix until evenly coated. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate, at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours. If possible, flip thighs several times while marinating.
5. 5 Remove chicken from marinade. Scrape off any chunks of marinade from chicken into the bowl and reserve for later.
6. 6 Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Working in batches, brown the chicken all over, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the marinade bowl; set aside.
7. 7 Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt; cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon brown sugar and cook until onions are dark brown and caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes more.
8. 8 Add chicken broth, ketchup, and bay leaves to the pan; bring to a boil. Add carrots, bell peppers, browned chicken thighs, and reserved marinade.
9. 9 Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center and sauce has reduced and thickened, 1 to 1 ½ hours. Skim excess fat that floats to the top; baste chicken occasionally with sauce.
10. 10 Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in green parts of green onions. Serve and enjoy!
