Poulet En Sauce (Haitian Chicken Stew) with a spin to make it easy for you to make at home.

Haiti is a very hot and humid country. Most of the population do not have access to a refrigerator or frozen ingredients. Most of the ingredients are bought the day the food will be prepared. Most ingredients are found in an outdoor market; some are covered, and others are not.

Once they arrive home, the meat is cleaned to perfection.
