Recipe Summary Jamaican Curry Chicken

I couldn't find a recipe I liked, so here is my family's version of 'curried' chicken. It brings back memories of a childhood spent enjoying food there, where there were very few dishes I wouldn't eat, vegetables or not. This dish is traditionally served on white rice or in a roti, but feel free to get creative!

Ingredients | Jamaican Fish Cakes

¼ cup curry powder, divided

2 tablespoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon seasoned salt

1 tablespoon onion powder

2 teaspoons salt

1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves stripped

1 pinch ground allspice, or more to taste

salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 ¼ pounds whole chicken, cut into pieces

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cups water

1 potato, diced

½ cup chopped carrots

2 scallions (green onions), chopped

1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced

1 Scotch bonnet chile pepper, chopped, or to taste

Directions

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.

The key to curried chicken is allowing the curry to cook properly. Make sure your curry has had enough time to cook!

Also try a meatless version with veggies in the place of chicken!

I usually use just over half of the scotch bonnet pepper, but some peppers are hotter than others.
