Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cleaned organic chicken pieces with browning sauce, Jamaican green seasoning, sea salt, all-purpose blend, smoked paprika, and curry powder. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated, then cover with plastic wrap or a lid. For maximum flavor, refrigerate the chicken for at least 3 hours or ideally overnight.
- Heat 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, stirring until dissolved. Carefully sear the marinated chicken pieces for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust. Once browned, remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and then sprinkle in the remaining Jamaican curry powder. Cook over medium-high heat for just 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until it becomes fragrant and begins to darken.
- Add minced garlic, ginger, scotch bonnet peppers, chopped green onions, carrots, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté these ingredients for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and golden.
- Stir in the ground allspice, sea salt, and Jamaican pepper sauce to the aromatic mixture. Carefully pour in the can of full-fat coconut milk and 1 cup of organic chicken stock. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Return the browned chicken pieces to the skillet, along with the cubed russet potatoes and fresh thyme sprigs. Reduce the heat to low and cover, simmering for 20-25 minutes.
- Once ready, check for seasoning and adjust if needed. Plate the Authentic Jamaican Curry Chicken alongside fluffy basmati or brown rice, garnished with chopped scallions and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.
