For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken and pork stock instead of water. If you prefer a thicker stew, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a little cold water during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Feel free to experiment with different types of hot sauce to achieve your desired level of heat. Leftovers taste even better the next day!
