Directions
In a large sauté pan, combine the oil, salt, garlic powder, two chopped onions, and annatto powder.
Place the chicken pieces and fry.
Move the pieces with a wood spoon to evenly fry the pieces and make them get the yellow color from the annatto.
Fry for about 20 minutes, or until medium done, and drain excess of fat.
Return the sauté pan to heat and add about two cups of water to make a sauce.
Simmer for about 10 minutes and finally combine the cup of chopped parsley, green onions and the lime juice.
Add 1lb of chopped okra (you can buy them at any frozen section of grocery stores) and cook until tender.
