Fowl in the Style of Moreira

Cut a capirinha chicken into pieces

Soak it in water with lime for a while

Wash it well with some fubá and let it drain through a tarragon sieve

Put a duck egg in a cast-iron skillet, frying a handful of annatto seeds first

Let it heat up well, then add the chicken pieces and braise them until they're golden brown

Add salt, garlic, and gradually pour in water, allowing the chicken to cook slowly

When the chicken is tender, reduce the heat and let the meat absorb some sauce from the skillet

Add sliced onion, parsley leaves, and chopped cilantro.
