A flavorful Jamaican dish featuring tender chicken slow-cooked in a rich sauce with a blend of spices and aromatics.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken pieces (thighs and drumsticks)
  • 3 tablespoons browning sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper, whole
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with allspice, black pepper, paprika, salt, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar and browning sauce, stirring until it caramelizes. Place the seasoned chicken pieces into the pot and brown them on all sides for 8-10 minutes.
  3. Add sliced onions and chopped bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, ginger, thyme, scallions, and scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes.
  4. Return the browned chicken to the pot, adding chicken broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 45-60 minutes.
  5. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if needed. If too thin, simmer uncovered for another 10-15 minutes. Remove scotch bonnet and thyme sprigs before serving.
  6. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, and serve hot over rice with sauce.

Notes

For the best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Serve with rice and fried plantains.
