Method

step 1
Put the chicken in a large, heavy-based saucepan or flame-proof casserole dish with the onion, thyme, guinea peppers, chilli powder, garlic and 1 tsp of the sea salt. Cook together over a low heat, partially covered, until the juices start to run from the chicken.

step 2
Pour the chalé sauce over the chicken mixture, then cover and simmer for about 30 minutes until the chicken juices run clear when pierced.
-
step 3
Stir in the hot stock and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour until the chicken is tender.
-
step 4
Season with black pepper. Add your choice of vegetables and cook until tender. Remove the sprigs of thyme before serving. Scatter with coriander.
