Dad's Chicken Stew

I remember Dad making this stew many times growing up. It's definitely comfort food served with some rice. After Hurricane Hugo, he set up his propane cooker in the back yard and cooked a huge pot then delivered it to many of our neighbors who were without power for a week or more.

Ingredients:
One fryer (2 1/2 - 3 lb)
3 medium potatoes, peeled & diced
3 medium onions, diced
2 tbs sugar
1 1/2 cups ketchup
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Boil chicken and onions together. When chicken is done, remove meat from bones. Dice meat and place back in broth, along with potatoes. Add ketchup, sugar, salt and pepper.
Simmer for 30 - 60 minutes. Serve over rice if desired.
