JAMAICAN STYLE CURRY CHICKEN



Jamaican Style Curry Chicken image

This is a recipe that I have put together over some various websites, verbal consultations and just experimenting on my own and with my family. Rich and hearty with a great flavor when you can't get the real thing in the islands. Try a variety of hot peppers to change the flavor - even sweet bell peppers give a different taste. Use fresh thyme to really bring out the fresh taste.

JAMAICAN CURRY CHICKEN



Jamaican Curry Chicken image

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!

1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (leaves and some stems)
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 Scotch bonnet or habanero chile, stem removed (see Cook's Note)
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons thyme (leaves and young stems)
10 cloves garlic
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 Scotch bonnet or habanero chile, sliced
3 tablespoons curry powder
3 pounds skin-on chicken legs and thighs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 quart chicken broth or stock
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
Juice of 1 to 2 limes
Kosher salt
2 green onions, green parts only, sliced on a bias
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup jasmine rice
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the green seasoning: Put the cilantro, celery, chile, onions, oil, ginger, thyme leaves and garlic cloves in a blender. Process until a paste forms.
  • For the marinade and chicken: Add the onion, chile, curry powder and chicken to a large bowl. Add the green seasoning and toss to combine. Cover the bowl or transfer to a resealable bag and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until smoking. Working in batches, remove the chicken from the marinade, scraping off the onions. Sear the chicken until it's brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Keep the rest of the marinade. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining marinade and a pinch of salt to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up the brown bits that cling to the bottom, until the onions are softened and the brown bits on the bottom have been released, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and the seared chicken, along with any juices, back to the pot. Cook for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add the potatoes and cook until the chicken is tender and cooked through, the potatoes are tender and the liquid is reduced by half, 10 minutes more.
  • For the rice: While the chicken is cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the rice, stir to coat, and toast until translucent about 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and place the saucepan in the oven, until the water is fully absorbed, about 18 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork, then cover until ready to serve.
  • Remove the Dutch oven from heat and add the lime juice and salt to taste. Serve the curry over the rice and garnish with the green onions.

JAMAICAN CURRY CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Jamaican Curry Chicken and Potatoes image

There's nothing more comforting than chicken and potatoes, and this recipe is no exception. Getting its flavor and heat from a combination of mild Jamaican curry powder and Scotch bonnet pepper, it's not as hot as some Indian or Thai curries. Jamaican curry powder tends to be heavy on turmeric and less on spice, and this recipe uses just one Scotch bonnet pepper, which is kept whole but punctured to gently release flavor. The result is more warming than spicy. Eat this one-pot recipe by itself as a kind of stew, or over rice, letting all the flavors meld together.

Provided by Millie Peartree

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken legs and thighs, skin removed
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1 large onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons Jamaican hot curry powder, such as Jamaican Choice or Grace, plus more as needed
1 Scotch bonnet or habanero pepper
4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and quartered
1 to 2 quarts chicken stock (reduce or add liquid depending on pot size)
1 dried bay leaf
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1/4 cup cornstarch
White rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large bowl. Season chicken with the garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, making sure it's evenly coated. Let come to room temperature.
  • Heat a deep Dutch oven or heavy pan over medium-high. Drizzle in the olive oil. Add sliced onions, season with salt and pepper. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir to combine, and cook until soft and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, stirring to keep the garlic from scorching, and cook for 30 seconds or until tender. Using a pair of tongs or a spoon, remove onions and garlic from the pan; set aside in a bowl.
  • If needed, add more oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the room-temperature chicken to the pan, and sear chicken on both sides, in batches if necessary, until golden brown, about 7 to 8 minutes total.
  • Sprinkle curry powder over and around chicken. Let the spices bloom and toast until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add reserved onions and garlic to the pan. Using a paring knife, pierce the Scotch bonnet pepper. Add to the pan. Add potatoes, and stir to evenly coat chicken and potatoes.
  • Pour in chicken stock to nearly cover the chicken. Add the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Bring to a simmer. Remove Scotch bonnet pepper. Cover pot and cook for 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender and falling off the bone. Taste and adjust the curry powder, salt and pepper as needed.
  • In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1/4 cup water to form a slurry. (The chicken curry can be eaten as is, like a soup, or slurry can be added to thicken the sauce to a gravy-like consistency.) Add 1 tablespoon of the slurry, and bring to a boil to thicken, adding more slurry to reach desired consistency. Retrieve bay leaf and thyme stems and discard. Serve with rice.
