  14. 4 tbspcurry powder (I use Blue Mountain Jamaican Hot)
  15. 1scotch bonnet (a.ka. Jamaican Pepper)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl combine your chicken, 1/2 your chopped onion, fresh thyme, chopped scallions, salt, pepper, tomato, ketchup, amchar massala and your chopped up scotch bonnet.

  2. 2

    Mix ingredients in the bowl by hand thoroughly and then cover. Place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours and let marinate.

  3. 3

    Place your large Dutch pot on the stove and turn heat on high and let pot hot.

  4. 4

    Lower the heat to medium and add your veggie oil and the rest of the onion and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes (be careful not to let your garlic burn)

  5. 5

    Add your curry powder and stir for an additional 3 minutes to cook the raw curry taste.

  6. 6

    Add 1/4 cup of water and continue to stir.

    You should notice that the liquid in the pot is cooked off and the curry is forming somewhat like a paste.

  7. 7

    Begin adding your marinated chicken. Turn the heat up to medium high.

  8. 8

    Stir the chicken to coat the pieces with the curry.

  9. 9

    Place the lid on the pot for about 15-20 minutes. About 8 minutes in, check and stir the chicken. Recover with lid and let cook for the remainder 15-20 minutes.

  10. 10

    After the 15-20 minutes add your potatoes and the rest of the water. Turn your heat up to high and bring to a boil. Place the lid half way on to cook off some of the liquid.

  11. 11

    Chicken curry is done when meat begins to fall off the bone and a nice gravey forms.

    Note - you can add more water if needed for gravey.

  12. 12

    Serve with a side of rice and a wedge cornbread. Enjoy......
