Dry and season the chicken with salt, pepper, chicken bouillon powder, ginger, garlic, white pepper, thyme, paprika, and green onions.

Marinate - Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Ready to Cook - Remove particles and reserve marinade.

Sear the chicken by heating a large pan with 2 tablespoons of oil. Brown the chicken for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Sauté with 2-3 tablespoons of oil: onions, garlic, thyme, hot sauce, paprika, sugar, browning sauce, ketchup, and salt to taste. Optionally, add bell peppers in the last 10 minutes.

Stir for 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent. Add leftover chicken marinade and deglaze the pan with water. Add chicken back to the pan and bring to a boil.

Cover and cook for 25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt, pepper, and soup consistency. Serve with rice. Enjoy!
