3 lb Cut-up chicken parts (fryer) Salt & peper to taste 3 lb Fresh okra 1/2 c Vinegar 3/4 c Butter 1 Onion, med., chopped 1 1/2 lb Tomatoes, peeled, strained 2 c Water
Wash the chickens. (If they are whole, cut into serving pcs.). Season
lightly with salt & pepper, and set them aside to drain. Wash the okra.
Remove the stems carefully, without cutting the okra. Line them up in a
large flat pan and sprinkle with the vinegar; place in the sun for 30 min
to 1 hour.
Brown the butter in a pot, add the chicken, and saute until brown, then
add the onion and let it brown. Add the tomatoes and boil for 3 to 5 min.
Add water. Simmer for 30 min. Add okra and continue to simmer, covered,
until tender. Watch carefully as this may need a little more water. The
okra will have absorbed the liquid and only the oil should remain when the
dish is cooked.
