"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:
Cut raw chicken into bite-sized pieces. Combine all marinade ingredients and marinate chicken for a few hours before cooking. When ready to cook, heat oil and brown sugar in large saucepan. Cook until the sugar is burned (it separates from the oil and turns a darker color). Take off the heat and immediately add the chicken and all the marinade (be careful, it splashes). Return to the heat and cook chicken for a few minutes until no longer pink on the outside. Add dry rice. Stir well and cook for a few minutes, stirring. Add soy sauce and stir. Add water. Stir. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook on low for 35-40 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Add drained pigeon peas and warm through (5 minutes). Serves 3-4
