fridge Marinate for about an hour or preferably over night

2. When ready to cook heat up a skillet or large sauce pan with about 2
tablespoons oil, and then brown the chicken about 3-4 minutes until
chicken is golden brown: remove and place in the crockpot. Drain any
excess oil from the skillet and leave about 2 Tablespoons of oil.
3. Add onions, garlic, hot sauce, smoked paprika, sugar,browning sauce,
ketchup, bell peppers and salt to taste. Stir for about 2-3 minutes until
onions is translucent.
4. Then add to crockpot, deglaze pan with about ¾ cup of water add to
slow cooker, together with ketchup, brown sauce and any remaining
marinate from the chicken.
5. Cover and cook on high for about 3-4 hours. Remove and serve with rice
and beans

Recipe Notes
1. When adding chicken, it is a great idea to brown the chicken first, for a
few minutes, sauté the garlic, onions stove top, before adding to the
crockpot.  Small step = huge flavors.
2. If you want to throw everything in the crockpot and cook away, that’s
fine too. I tried it and it wasn’t bad at all. But I prefer the former.
3. Jamaican Browning sauce aka burnt sugar is a favorite West Indian
condiment use in most households to add, sweetness and color in
stews, soups, and even cakes.
4. It’s available in Caribbean Markets, Wal-Mart and even some
supermarkets.  Don’t sweat it! You can certainly make this without burnt
sugar.
