Step 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, ~12 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, blend scotch bonnet, tomato paste, onion, 2 tbsp water, 1 tbsp oil, and salt until smooth.
Step 3
Pat chicken dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high.
Step 4
Sear chicken 5 minutes per side without moving. Transfer to a plate. Brush both sides generously with shito sauce.
Step 5
Return chicken to the skillet skin-side down and cook 2 minutes, then flip and cook 2 minutes more until sticky.
Step 6
In the same skillet, toss okra with 1 tbsp oil and salt. Sear 3 minutes per side until charred and tender.
Step 7
Plate the mashed potatoes, top with chicken, and arrange grilled okra alongside. Drizzle any pan sauce over chicken.
