Introduction
A classic Jamaican comfort dish featuring bone-in, skinless chicken marinated in a vibrant blend of fresh herbs, warm spices, and browning sauce, caramelized in melted brown sugar, and simmered into a rich, savory gravy.
Step 1
Season the skinless, bone-on chicken thighs and drumsticks with salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add all seasoning ingredients to the bowl: chopped green onions, red and green bell peppers, chopped onions, scotch bonnet peppers, garlic-ginger paste, green seasoning, chicken bouillon powder, powdered ginger, paprika, Jamaican allspice, a splash of browning sauce, and fresh thyme sprigs.
Step 3
Thoroughly massage and squeeze all the seasonings and vegetables into the chicken meat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator, ideally overnight or for at least 4 to 5 hours.
Step 4
After marinating, separate the chicken pieces from the vegetables and marinade seasonings, shaking off excess pieces to prevent them from burning during browning.
Step 5
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat, add a splash of neutral oil and brown sugar, and stir constantly until the sugar melts into a dark caramel syrup.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using bone-on chicken with the skin removed allows the marinade to penetrate deep into the meat while keeping the stew lean and rich.
Make sure to thoroughly shake off and separate the vegetables from the chicken before browning; otherwise, the vegetables will burn in the hot sugar syrup.
When caramelizing the brown sugar, watch it carefully and stir continuously to prevent it from burning, which can add a bitter flavor to the dish.
Rinsing the marinade bowl with hot water ensures no flavor from the seasoning paste is wasted.
