Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken Recipe 455

Steps:

• Place habanero, thyme, garlic, ginger, light parts of green onions, brown sugar, black pepper, kosher salt, smoked paprika, allspice, and vinegar for marinade into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
• Make 2 slices into the skin side of each thigh, perpendicular to the bone, about 1 inch apart, cutting all the way down to the bone. Add chicken thighs to the marinade and toss thoroughly until evenly coated. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the chicken and transfer to the refrigerator, 12 hours or overnight. If possible, toss several times during the marinating time.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. Scrape off any chunks of marinade from chicken into the bowl and reserve for later.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until almost smoking hot. Add chicken and brown well on both sides, about 5 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Once all the chicken is browned, remove to the marinade bowl and reserve.
• Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt; saute in the fat until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar and cook until everything caramelizes and turns a dark brown, 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Carefully add chicken broth, ketchup, and bay leaves to the pan; bring to a boil. Add carrots, bell peppers, browned chicken thighs, and reserved marinade.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the centers, and the sauce has reduced and thickened, 1 to 1 1/2 hours, skimming the excess fat that comes to the top and basting the chicken with the sauce occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning. Toss in reserved sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Season the chicken with black pepper, garlic powder, chopped garlic, chopped green onions, and soy sauce. Place in refrigerator overnight. Haven't been able to find this sauce anywhere in Orlando, but was fortunate enough that my Uncle brought me a bottle. If you do not plan on cooking chicken the following day then just place in airtight Ziploc bag and place in the freezer. I always do this along with curry chicken so when I need it, it's there. In a large rimmed skillet heat oil on medium high heat. Start frying the chicken in batches. Do not discard the marinade form the night before. We will use it at the end again. Flip the chicken pieces so that all sides are cooked. Once the first batch is finished browning, remove the chicken and place into a dutch pot. By removing the first batch of browned chicken and placing it in the dutch pot, all of the juices will start to run out of the chicken, which will be used to make the yummy gravy. Continue browning the remaining chicken pieces and placing them into the dutch pot to drain. Once all the chicken is cooked change spots on the stove top. Add the left over marinade of the chicken from the night before along with 2 cups of water. Allow the chicken to boil for 15 minutes. Once you see the chicken almost finished cooking, add a little salt, sugar, and ketchup. Cover and let simmer. It's spinners time... love these. ½ cup flour 1 teaspoon salt 5 tablespoons water Combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl and stir until you have a stiff, smooth dough. Roll the pieces into cylinders, drop them into the simmering stew and boil. Serve with rice, plantains, and veggies.

Steps:

• Remove the skin from the chicken, joint it, cut the breasts in half and separate the legs and thighs.
• Put the chicken pieces in a large bowl along with all the marinade ingredients. Toss, then rub the mixture into the chicken. Cover tightly and chill for 24 hrs.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the chicken and marinade into a deep ovenproof dish. Cover and bake for 40 mins, then remove the lid and stir in the sugar, stock, browning sauce and flour mixture. Bake for another 15 mins, uncovered, turning the chicken and basting it every 5 mins.
• Check the chicken is cooked through. If not, bake for 15 mins more, then check again. Taste for seasoning, then scatter with the spring onions and serve with rice and peas and slaw, if you like.
