About one-half dozen thin slices of the best bacon. Reserve this for
the kettle later.
Bacon fat in the frying pan—fry the chicken very brown. As soon as each
piece of chicken is brown place it in the kettle—then put the kettle
over the fire. Let it boil.
Add six small onions or three large ones. Sliced and fried in the bacon
grease.
Onions fried golden brown.
Then to the onions add a can of tomatoes or the equivalent of sliced
tomatoes.
Keep stirring from the bottom to prevent burning.
All must cook until it has thickened.
While cooking add chili peppers cut fine, green peppers the same, also
okra.
Add one or two large bay leaves and season to taste with salt and
pepper.
Onions, tomatoes and peppers should be added to the chicken in the
kettle when they have cooked sufficiently.
If fresh okra is not available use the best canned kind.
