Share:
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (cut up and de-skinned) or boneless thighs and chicken legs, de-skinned
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons curry powder for chicken
- 1 tablespoon curry powder for fry base
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup onion chopped
- 1/4 cup scallion chopped
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder (or a Maggie cube)
- 3 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 3-4 allspice berries
- 3 prigs thyme
- 1 Scotch bonnet
- 2 whole carrots cut small
- 2 whole potatoes cut into cubes
- 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional
Instructions
- Wash the chicken with a vinegar/lime mixture.
- Season the chicken with 2 tablespoons of curry powder, chicken bouillon, garlic, onion, scallions, salt, pepper, allspice, and thyme. Mix thoroughly.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours or preferably overnight.
- In a large Dutch oven or stew pot, add oil and 1 tbsp of curry powder. Fry on HIGH.
- Mix the curry powder and let it fry with the oils before adding the marinated chicken to enhance the flavor.
- Once the oil and curry mixture is hot, add the marinated chicken and fry until it's browned (about 3 minutes per side).
- After browning the chicken, add chicken broth, coconut milk, a bunch of thyme, and one scotch bonnet pepper.
- Bring to a rapid boil, then add potatoes and carrots. Mix thoroughly and reduce heat to LOW before covering.
- Let it cook for 45 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Stir every 15 minutes. - Note: If you're having trouble forming a gravy, finish cooking with the lid HALF-way off for the final 15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken naturally.
