A rather unconventional style but it will do and has many variables so you can fashion it to taste.

All I have are basics, I rarely measure things I cook. The original of this recipe happened in a single pot over an outdoor fire pit while camping in the desert.

Basically you're making fried chicken, dredged in some flour with seasoning, in a pot with the least amount of oil possible, I used a cover on the pot to hasten the cooking. I use olive oil for everything.

I added some onion halves. Spices used were ginger, tarragon, basil, cracked pepper - go a little heavy on the spices. Onions and spices go in together about 2/3 of the way through the cooking of the chicken.

When the chicken is nearly cooked and somewhat browned on the outside. add in...

1 lemon and 1 large orange, cut into wedges, rind and all. Cover and let cook a few minutes then add in some honey, about 1/4 - 1/2 cup. Cover and lower heat for ten minutes then remove from heat, add in...

1/8 cup fresh parsley, cover and let stand five minutes or so then serve with rice and or some preferred vegetable.

Have at it, make it work for you by adjusting amounts and timing using your own cooking sense, you'll like it.
