jamaican stewed chicken

5 to 6 pounds chicken pieces (your choice)
1 litre bottle catsup
2 to 3 large onions
2 to 3 medium tomatoes diced (optional)
black pepper, to taste
oil (for frying)

clean chicken and place in a large bowl. slice the onions into thick slices and separate into rings; add to the chicken. if using tomatoes, dice them and add to chicken. add the bottle of catsup and the black pepper (at least 1 teaspoon is recommended). this dish should be spicy, but you can use less without affecting the taste. marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.

heat oil; brown chicken on all sides, then place in a covered oven dish. add about 1/2 litre of water to the catsup mixture, until you have a smooth, but not thick, consistency. pour over the chicken. bake at 325 degrees f for about 2 hours or until the chicken just falls off the bones.

this is good served with steamed rice.
