Description

This Caribbean-style chicken stew is a flavorful and comforting dish, perfect for a cozy evening. The chicken is seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices and simmered in a rich, savory sauce with a hint of sweetness and a touch of heat from the scotch bonnet pepper. I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a hit with my family and friends. It's best served with rice to soak up all the delicious sauce. Feel free to adjust the amount of scotch bonnet pepper to your liking – a little goes a long way!

Ingredients (14 ingredients)

  • 1 piece whole chicken
  • 1 piece white onion
  • 1 piece thumb-sized piece of ginger
  • 3 clove garlic cloves
  • 3 sprig thyme
  • 1 tbsp ground pimento
  • 5 tsp caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 piece red pepper
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose seasoning
  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 piece scotch bonnet pepper
  • 2 piece spring onions
  • 500 ml chicken stock

Preparation (7 steps)

1

Season the chicken

In a bowl, season the whole chicken with 1 tbsp ground pimento, chopped white onion, 1 tbsp all-purpose seasoning, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1½ tsp salt. Ensure the chicken is well coated with the seasoning.

2

Caramelize the sugar

Add 5 tsp caster sugar to the Thermomix bowl and cook without the measuring cup over medium heat until the sugar starts to melt, keeping an eye on it as it starts to bubble and darken. Once it’s dark brown and has gone just beyond the smell of caramel, remove the caramelized sugar from the bowl and set aside.

3

Brown the chicken

In a large pan, brown the seasoned chicken pieces in batches, shaking off as much of the onion as possible. Remove the browned chicken and set aside.
