Stew Chicken (Belize) image

I used this recipe for week 27 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Belize is my 27th stop. Please note that I never use any recipe for my blog that I'm not reasonably sure is from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 whole chicken, cut up
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons achiote paste (called red recado in Belize)
1 onion
1 green bell pepper
5 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons cumin
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 -2 tablespoon coconut oil
1 -2 teaspoon sugar
water, to cover
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Mix the achiote paste with the vinegar and rub it all over the chicken pieces.
  • Put the pieces in a large bowl and add the Worchestershire, cumin, thyme, oregano and black pepper.
  • Chop the onion, pepper and garlic and set aside.
  • Melt the coconut oil in a large saucepan. When it has melted completely, add the sugar and swirl to distribute.
  • Remove the chicken from the bowl, reserving the marinade, and brown both sides in the oil and sugar mixture.
  • Add the onions, peppers and garlic. Saute until the onions are translucent.
  • Add the reserved marinade to the pot and then add enough water to "almost cover" the chicken. Let simmer for 40 minutes to an hour, until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear. Adjust the seasonings if necessary.
