Ingredients

  • 1 ½ - 2 lbs. chicken pieces I used skinless drumsticks
  • 3 limes or 2/3 cup vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup Epis seasoning Haitian sofrito
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 1 sliced onion
  • 1 sliced green bell pepper
  • A few sprigs of thyme
  • Scotch Bonnet pepper optional
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups Sos ti Malice

Instructions

  • To clean the chicken, first cut 1 lime in half.
  • Squeeze the juice over the chicken and rub the chicken pieces with the lime.
  • Save the lime and rinse the chicken.
  • Cut the other 2 lime in half.
  • Place the chicken in a bowl with enough water to cover (about 2 cups).
  • Squeeze the lime juice of the 2 new limes.
  • Add all the lime pieces in the water with the chicken.
  • Alternately add about 2/3 cups vinegar to the water. (No matter what quantity you are cooking, the ratio should be one part vinegar to two parts water).
  • Let the chicken soak for at least 10 minutes.
  • Discard the soaking liquid and the limes. Give the chicken one more rinse.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
