Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the chicken by combining it in a ziplock bag with browning sauce, Jamaican green seasoning, and spices. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  2. In a large pot, heat oil and caramelize brown sugar. Add marinated chicken, sear for 3–4 minutes until golden brown, then set aside.
  3. In the same pot, toast Jamaican curry powder over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Sauté garlic, ginger, Scotch bonnet peppers, and carrots for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in coconut milk and chicken stock, stir, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Return browned chicken to the pot with potatoes and thyme. Simmer on low for 20-25 minutes until tender.
  7. Serve the curry alongside fluffy rice and garnish with scallions or red pepper flakes.
