Chicken with Tomatoes and Honey
Ingredients
Heat a large pot over medium, add the oil to coat. Put in the chicken pieces, onion, salt, garlic, spices and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook gently, stirring and turning the chicken. After about 30 min, add pepper to taste and continue cooking until the meat is starting to pull off the bone, about 1 hour in total.
Remove the chicken from the pot and increase the heat, bringing the sauce to a full simmer. Reduce the sauce, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes begin to caramelize, usually after the volume has been reduced by about 1/2.
Stir in the honey and return the chicken to the sauce to heat thoroughly. Serve
