Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken pieces, drumsticks and thighs
  • 2 tablespoons Jamaican curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 medium carrots, cut into chunks
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 2 cups chicken broth or water
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1 Scotch bonnet pepper, optional

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken in a large bowl. Season with Jamaican curry powder, all-purpose seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly browned.
  3. Add the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, scallions, and thyme. Cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth or water and add the Scotch bonnet pepper, if using. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  5. Add the potatoes and carrots. Cover and continue cooking for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Stir in the green bell pepper and cook for another 5 minutes. Simmer uncovered as needed until the curry sauce reaches your preferred thickness.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve hot with steamed white rice or your favorite Caribbean side dish.

Notes

  • For extra spice, include the Scotch bonnet pepper.
  • Adjust the thickness of the curry sauce by simmering uncovered longer.
  • Serve with rice, roti, or bread for a complete meal.
