JAMAICAN CURRY CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Remove the skin (if there is any) from the chicken and cut it into small pieces. Wash the chicken in water with the juice from the lime/lemon and the vinegar. Drain away all the excess water from the chicken. Dry with kitchen towel if necessary.
• In a kitchen bowl, add the chicken, onion, garlic, scotch bonnet pepper, pimento berries, ginger, salt, all-purpose seasoning, the curry powder and mix everything together and leave to marinate for 30 minutes or more.
• In a pot add the cooking oil and put to hot on medium heat.
• Add the seasoned chicken to the oil and stir well. Let the chicken cook until lightly brown on all sides. Don't let the pot burn, add a tip of water if necessary.
• Stir in the carrot, potato and thyme. Add water enough to cover the chicken in the pot. Cover and leave to cook for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked and the water is reduced to a curry gravy.

JAMAICAN COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Place all of the meat in a large bowl and use a fork/knife to make small holes. This will helps seasoning to penetrate (make sure the meat is blotted dry from washing it).
• Sprinkle the curry powder, ground coriander, onion powder, garlic powder, ginger, black pepper, all purpose seasoning, pink salt, parsley and cilantro.
• Use your hands (can wear gloves) to work the seasoning into the chicken.
• Wrap the bowl and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight (recommended).
• On medium heat, add the olive oil to the skillet and add 1 tbsp of curry powder and cook the curry for about 1 minute.
• Add the onion, scallion and garlic then proceed to saute in the pan until soft and translucent.
• Now add the chicken and begin to sear the chicken until the meat turns color/seal and is no longer pink. This is will take about 10 minutes or so (it's normal for the chicken to extract its own juices).
• Once seared, transfer the contents of the skillet to your crockpot.
• Add the bay leaves, scotch bonnet, thyme, coconut milk and knob of coconut cream (coconut butter/manna).
• Switch the slow cooker on, cover the crock pot with a lid and set to cook on high for 4 hours.
• 1hr-45 minutes before the cooking time is done add your carrots and mixed bell peppers.
• Once the cooking time has finished do a taste test and adjust for additional pink salt, black pepper or more seasoning if required.
• Discard the bay leaves, scotch bonnet and thyme stems prior to serving

JAMAICAN CURRY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk 2 tablespoons curry powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, onion powder, salt, thyme leaves, allspice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Add chicken and coat with curry mixture until curry mixture is wet and sticks to chicken.
• Heat oil and 2 tablespoons curry powder in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until oil is hot and curry powder changes color, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken to the hot oil mixture and reduce heat to medium. Add water, potato, carrots, scallions, ginger, and chile pepper to skillet.
• Cover skillet and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and gravy is thickened, allowing chicken to cook undisturbed for last 15 minutes of cooking, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a serving dish; continue simmering gravy, uncovered, to thicken (if needed). Serve chicken with gravy.
