Heat a Dutch oven over high heat. Add just the chicken pieces (they'll bring their own oil from the marinade) and sear them until they're deeply browned and seared on each side, about 10 minutes total. You want a good crust here.
Once the chicken is seared, pour in the remaining vegetable marinade, the scotch bonnet pepper, and 2 cups of water. Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
