12 chicken thighs, bone in and skin on
1 lime, juice only
3 scallions, shredded
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 scotch bonnet pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 onion, diced
4 sprigs thyme, enough to give 1 tsp leaves
3 tomatoes, diced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
salt and pepper

1
Lay the chicken thighs in a non metallic dish so they are in one layer as much as possible.
2
Squeeze over the lime juice and add the scallions, garlic, soy sauce, onion, thyme and tomatoes. Season well and mix everything together. Leave everything to marinate for 2 hours, or overnight if you can.
3
Take the chicken pieces out of the marinating mixture and pat dry with kitchen paper.
4
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan set over a moderate heat. Fry the chicken pieces, turning frequently, until the chicken is golden.
5
Spoon over the reserved marinating mixture, stir in the tomato ketchup, and add about 1/2 cup hot water - or enough to barely cover the chicken. Cover the pan and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is tender.
6
Serve with rice and peas, plain steamed rice or pasta.
