Curry Chicken
Also known as: Jamaican Curry Chicken
Jamaican chicken curry with potatoes, carrot and a thick seasoned sauce.
About Curry Chicken
Yanikie Tucker’s curry chicken follows the Jamaican style she learned in childhood. This version selects bone-in chicken, habanero, Maggi all-purpose seasoning and a chicken bouillon cube, with potatoes and carrot in the sauce.
Jamaican curry powder works alongside thyme, scallion, garlic, onion, white and black pepper, and allspice. The author explains the island’s characteristic use of curry in the marinade and its cooking with garlic.
Tender chicken pieces remain distinct in a sauce thickened to a gravy consistency around the vegetables. Steamed rice is the selected accompaniment rather than the separately offered roti.
