wow those recipes are quite different than the way mi ex family taught me how to cook brown stew chicken on Ella Drive (Pee Wee Lane).........
and actually everyone mi know on Ella Drive cooks their Brown Stew Chicken this way.......
Pee Wee Lane Brown Stew Chicken.........
take one whole chicken and cut it up and place in large bowl...........
then add these ingredients......usually about two or three tablespoons of each...........
usually in this order........I usually mix each ingredient one at a time by turning the chicken.......
black pepper......go heavy here if you want......
garlic powder........
chicken seasoning.......
jerk seasoning > my custom touch
ginger..........go heavy here is a must.....
poultry seasoning(1 tablespoon)
thyme.......
paprika.......
and last is da Browning........
turn the chicken with the browning so it coated and practically black and then take a fork and keep piercing the chicken..........
then I take and chop up scallions, 1 or 2 onions, diced or chopped tomatoes, 1 large or 2 small green peppers chopped(or hot peppers if you want it spicy) and add this to the bowl with the chicken in it...........
then in a large sauce pan you add oil and turn the heat up to high.........
add the bowl of chicken with the scallions etc to the hot sauce pan and scorch it without really cooking the chicken..........
remove pan from burner and then drain the oil out of the sauce pan that has the chicken.......
and then add 2 cups of either chicken or beef broth to da pan................
plus 3-5 tablespoons of ketchup..........let simmer at medium heat for two hours and you got da Pee Wee Lane Brown Stew Chicken
the ginger and green peppers makes the difference in this recipe......doesn't taste half as good without da peppers.....dunno why
also if you looking for superior Brown Stew Chicken from the Recipe......cover and place the bowl of chicken that is coated with the spices and veggies/peppers in the refrig for 8-12 hours so it can marinate.......
mi make the brown stew pork and fish the same way...........
the fish is amazing cooked this way(low to medium heat) and it only takes about 45 minutes to an hour versus two hours for the pork and chicken
