Heat the oil in a frying pan over a moderate heat, add the onion, honey and pepper, and cook for 10 minutes or until the onion is soft

Step 5

Add the chicken along with all the marinade ingredients. Cook over a high heat stirring constantly until the chicken begins to brown

Step 7

Step 9

Pour in the chicken stock, cover and cook for 35-45 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Remove the whole Scotch bonnet, if using, before serving and adjust the seasoning and hot sauce to taste if needed.
