Combine chicken with all spices in a bowl
Add fresh lime juice and massage together, let marinate while prepping other ingredients
Cut onion into strips (We call them “moons” no idea what the correct french word is) and fry in a dry pan over high heat (cast iron is ideal but not necessary here). Season with ~1/4tsp salt and do not stir so it will char. Stir after first side has charred; continue until cooked to your preference
Remove onions from pan and set aside in a large clean bowl
Repeat above step twice with one pepper at a time. It is important not to crowd the pan for charring to occur
Reduce heat to medium and let pan cool slightly
Fry chicken in batches (it takes us two batches) adding an appropriate quantity of oil each time, removing each batch to the vegetable bowl
Add ~1/3cup water to empty pan and scrape to de-glaze on high heat, reduce by ~1/2.
Add vegetables and chicken back to pan, stir to coat, heat until everything is reheated
Serve immediately
