Here’s a recipe for Authentic Jamaican Curry Chicken that’s rich, flavorful, and packed with Caribbean spices:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

• Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavors.

2. Brown the Chicken:
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
• Add 1 tsp curry powder to the oil and let it toast for 30 seconds to release its aroma.
• Add the marinated chicken pieces and brown them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.

3. Cook the Curry:
• Once the chicken is browned, add the diced potatoes, carrots, and the scotch bonnet pepper. Stir to combine.
• Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

4. Simmer to Perfection:
• Cover the pot and let the curry simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• The sauce should thicken, and the chicken should be tender and infused with the spices.

5. Final Adjustments:
• Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning with salt or additional curry powder if needed.
• If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more stock or water.

6. Serve:
• Serve hot with steamed white rice, rice and peas, or fried dumplings.

Tips
• Be cautious with the scotch bonnet pepper; it’s very spicy. You can leave it whole for flavor without too much heat or chop it for more spice.
• Authentic Jamaican curry powder brands like Grace or Blue Mountain are highly recommended.

Enjoy your flavorful taste of Jamaica!
