Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 2 serrano peppers, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Tomato Paste

For the Marinade
- ½ cup white vinegar
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon spicy red chili flakes or ghost pepper flakes
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp mustard powder

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the vinegar with garlic, chili flakes, and all spices to make a vibrant marinade. Add chicken, coating each piece thoroughly. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour—overnight for maximum flavor.
- In a large pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add onions and peppers, cooking for 4-5 minutes until they soften.
- Add marinated chicken to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, letting it brown. Stir in the tomato paste and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour in ½ cup of water (or chicken broth for extra depth) and stir to create a flavorful sauce. Reduce heat to low, simmering for 20 minutes until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- Spoon the saucy chicken over rice, garnishing with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of chili flakes. Enjoy a truly spicy, aromatic dish!
