Authentic Jamaican Curry Chicken

Description

If you have ever had Jamaican food, you know its all about flavor + spice! Embrace the heat with my Authentic Jamaican Curry Chicken. With a fragrant blend of spices and tender chicken simmered in a sauce of hot peppers, chicken stock, garlic, and creamy coconut milk, this dish is sure to transport your taste buds to the sunny shores of Jamaica. A real nostalgic comfort food dish for many Jamaicans. Completely Dairy-free + Gluten-free option.

Ingredients

Scale

3–4 lbs. organic chicken, skin removed (Drumsticks + Thigh pieces work great!)

1–2 Tbsps browning, optional (See Notes!)
2–3 Tbsps Jamaican Green Seasoning (You can substitute with all-purpose seasoning!)
2 Tbsps Jamaican curry powder

2 tsps On Everything All-Purpose Blend (You can purchase my On Everything All-Purpose Blend for authentic flavor or make your own blend—-See Notes)
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

In a large bowl, add your freshly cleaned + rinsed chicken along with browning, Green Seasoning, salt, All-Purpose Blend, smoked paprika, and curry powder, mixing everything together until chicken is fully coated. Add coated chicken to a securely sealed ziplock bag and place in the refrigerator for 3 hours (minimum). NOTE: Best if marinaded overnight. When ready to use, let chicken sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
In a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat, add 2 Tbsps of olive oil and once fully heated, add the brown sugar. Stir the brown sugar in oil and let it sit until it becomes wet like in texture in semi-dissolves. Now, add in the marinated chicken and cook on each side until seared, about 3-4 minutes each side. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate. NOTE: This creates a beautiful "brown" color which makes using the browning sauce optional.
If using authentic Jamaican curry powder, it's super important to first "burn" your powder. SEE NOTES FOR MORE.

In the same deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat, add another 2 Tbsps olive oil and once fully heated, add curry powder. Stir curry powder in oil and let it sit until it becomes a dark brown and becomes fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, scotch bonnet peppers, green onions, carrots, and bell peppers, sautéing until fragrant and golden. Add the allspice, salt, and black pepper, stirring until combined.
Pour in the coconut milk, chicken stock/broth, and pepper sauce, stirring until combined. Let the mixture boil for a minute or so before adding the chicken, cubed potatoes, crushed scallion (aka green onions), and thyme sprigs, stirring to incorporate. Reduce the heat to simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through and tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat once done. NOTE: The sauce should be thick, but with a good amount of gravy for the side dish.

To serve, enjoy the curry chicken with your favorite side (i.e. rice, veggies, etc.). Garnish with a bit of chopped scallion and/or sprinkles of red pepper flakes, if desired.
Bon Appétit!

Notes

Tips & Tricks STORAGE: Any leftovers can be kept in a tightly sealed container and refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, you can do this easily in the microwave or over the stovetop (adding ½ cup or so of chicken stock if needed) until warmed through and saucy. TURMERIC: You can add 1 teaspoon of turmeric to the curry sauce, if desired. While adding turmeric is optional, it definitely has benefits: powerful medicinal properties, natural anti-inflammatory ingredient, increases antioxidant activity in the body, and more. JAMAICAN SEASONINGS: If authentic Jamaican seasonings (i.e. browning, Green seasoning, curry powder, Flavo Rice, etc.) aren’t readily available near you, they are available for purchase on my Amazon Shop. Otherwise, substitute with your favorite brand. BURNING THE CURRY POWDER: When using Jamaican curry powder, it’s important to burn the powder first to avoid digestive issues for some people because of it’s potency. In addition, the “burning” process releases better flavor + color. GLUTEN-FREE OPTION: Ensure that all ingredients are GF-certified. HOMEMADE ALL-PURPOSE BLEND: 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, + 1 teaspoon dried parsley.
