Ingredients

  • 1 (3 pound) whole chicken, including neck and giblets, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 2 cups water (Optional)

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • 3 cups chopped Bermuda onion

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 cup water, or as needed (Optional)

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (Optional)

  • 2 tablespoons water (Optional)

  • 8 hard-boiled eggs, peeled

Directions

  1. Soak the chicken in 2 cups water and lemon juice in a large bowl for 10 minutes. Drain.

  2. Place the onion, with no fat, in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until very dark, about 20 minutes. Stir in the butter, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, and ginger, then stir in 1 more cup of water. Add the drained chicken, stirring until well-blended. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until the chicken is tender, about 1 hour. If a thicker stew is desired, whisk flour with 2 tablespoons of water, and stir into the pot; allow to simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in eggs; cook and stir until heated through, about 10 minutes more.
