Jamaican Chicken Curry Caribbean Recipe
Chicken Curry
Chicken curry is delicious on its own, but when you make Jamaican chicken curry, it is sheer heaven. The notorious scotch bonnet peppers turn up the heat in this savory bowl of curried chicken and rice. Offering Jamaican Red Stripe beer at the table might not be such a bad idea!
For a more authentic flavor, use a curry powder with an Indian or Caribbean brand name. Ethnic curry powders seem to have more "bite" to them than domestic brands do.
