Freeky's Sweet and Sour Chicken of the ancestor worship sacrificing.

[Freeky]

5.5 lbs bone in, skin on chicken thighs.
paprika (1 tsp smoked, 1 tsp sweet, 3 tsp fresh)
4 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp ginger

3 onions (I used two red and one sweet)
more than two pounds of carrots (two just isn't enough)
minced garlic, 2-3 TBSP

1 cup bacon grease (or however much, 1/2 cup per pan or so)

6 limes (1/2 cup squeezed, one to also use for zest)
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup Thai garlic pepper sauce

Slice onion however you want, as long as they are no more than 1/4 inch thick strips.  Peel carrots and cut diagonalwise.

Mix the seasonings in a small dish.  Pat dry the chicken with a paper towel.  Rub seasoning mix into the skin of the chicken, and the bottom side if you want.  Heat the grease in two pans.  It may be necessary to do more than one batch, even with two skillets.  Brown both sides and move to a plate.  Dump out a bit of the grease in the pan so you have about a 1/4 cup, then throw in your carrots and onions. Cook until the onions start going brown and soft, about 7 minutes.  Throw in your minced garlic, and cook for another minute.

Nestle your chicken into the veggies and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is done.

For sauce, take your lime juice and zest, honey, and pineapple juice and mix it up.  Dump the pepper sauce in equal amounts over however many pans you ended up using.  Pour the lime honey over that and simmer.  This step should probably happen about five to ten minutes before everything is done.

Serve with sticky rice and nosh on that shit until you get sick.  Then keep going because it's just so good.

Is very.  Also warm enough on the tastebuds for us whitebread folk that it'll clear out your sinuses.
