Rub the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic, thyme, and finely chopped hot pepper.
Chop the onions, carrots, and tomatoes.
Sear the chicken in olive oil for 10 minutes until browned all over.
Remove the chicken and melt the brown sugar in the same pot for 2 minutes until amber.
Add the onions and carrots and soften for 6 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes.
Return the chicken and chicken stock to the pot.
Cook the brown stew chicken covered for 25 minutes and serve with its sauce.
💡 Tip: Take the sugar to a deep amber without burning it; if it gets too dark, the sauce turns bitter, and if it stays pale, the chicken will not get the expected brown body.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve brown stew chicken hot with rice pilaf, boiled vegetables, and optional lemony salad.
