01 Step

Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Add the chicken pieces and cook, browning on all sides. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. (8-10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant. (3-5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Stir in the cubed potatoes, salt, and Jamaican curry powder, ensuring all ingredients are well coated with the spices.
05 Step
Recipe View
Pour in enough water to cover the chicken halfway. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked through. (30-40 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Season to taste with hot pepper sauce, adjusting the amount according to your preference for heat. (1 minute)
For a more authentic flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces. The bones add richness to the curry, and the skin provides extra flavor.
Adjust the amount of curry powder to your liking. For a milder curry, start with 2 tablespoons and add more as needed. For a spicier curry, use up to 1/4 cup.
Scotch bonnet peppers are traditionally used in West Indian cooking. If you can't find them, you can substitute habanero peppers or your favorite hot sauce.
Serve with rice and peas, roti, or your favorite Caribbean sides.
