Chicken Humba Dish

Cooking is basically similar to my pork humba. I did not have the banana blossoms or even the lily buds so I have to do without it. Humba should be really oily a lot of oil may not be really healthy but we are cooking humba here. We want the sauce really oily, salty sweet and tangy.
