Kadun Pica

Mmmmmm... Doesn't this look tasty? Oh C'mon, you know it does! A big pot of chopped up raw chicken? Okay, so, we were out at my father in law's working hard and my husband's Uncle Jimmy said it would be the perfect time to teach me how he makes a Chamorro dish called Kadun Pica. I've been wanting to watch so I can use this same recipe for all of the game birds my husband brings home after his hunting trips or we can cook it up while we're out there camping and hunting! Alright - so Uncle Jimmy's way of cooking this recipe goes like this:
Chop up a bunch of chicken wings and drumettes ( or whatever parts you want ) or give the cleaver to your oldest son and tell him to do it because that's not the fun part.
Chop up one medium onion and 2 cloves garlic and saute in a large pot with some vegetable oil.
Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is just lightly browned but not cooked through.

Then add these ingredients - all to taste so taste and add as you go ~ Lemon juice, ( he added one entire bottle shown here ), garlic powder, soy sauce ( add about 1/2 cup soy sauce at a time and taste, add more to balance out the lemon flavor. ) Sprinkle on some black pepper. ( Do not add Clorox. I know it's shown here with our ingredients but we didn't put it in the food. We were cooking this outdoors so you know, you can never have enough Clorox to clean things up afterwards! )
Put a lid on the pot and simmer until chicken is done and falling off the bone.
Meanwhile, chop small red peppers ( About 1 Tbsp, you can add more or less according to how spicy you like it. ) and add to chicken. Stir well and serve!

Here is the finished product. It has a lot of flavor and goes great with rice!
