  • 2 lb. skinless chicken legs and thighs
  • 14 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. dry mustard powder
  • 1 12 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. ground turmeric
  • 12 tsp. ground cumin
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, sliced
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 2 tbsp. canola oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken stock

Instructions

Step 1

Combine chicken, juice, Worcestershire, sugar, mustard, pepper, turmeric, cumin, garlic, onion, and salt in large bowl; cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 2
