Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken

Directions

  1. Stir together salt, granulated garlic, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper in a large bowl until combined. Add chicken pieces, browning sauce, and allspice, stirring and tossing to evenly combine.

  2. Stir in white onion, tomatoes, bell pepper, scallions, garlic, thyme, and ginger; mix until evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.

  3. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Reserve marinade.

  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high until shimmering. Working in 3 batches, add chicken pieces to hot oil, and cook until chicken is browned on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.

  5. Reduce heat to medium; add Scotch bonnet pepper and reserved marinade to drippings in Dutch oven. Cook, stirring occasionally, scraping any browned bits on bottom of Dutch oven, until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add browned chicken, chicken stock, and ketchup; stir until ketchup dissolves, about 30 seconds.

  6. Bring to a boil over high; reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Spoon off and discard fat; discard thyme stems and Scotch bonnet pepper before serving.
