The Mouth-Watering
Jamaican Curried Chicken

Perhaps you've had jerk- I am guessing so, but have you had the true Jamaican curried chicken? It's to die for!

Curried Chicken (or chicken back) and dumplings is my favourite Jamaican dish. I had promised myself not to eat later than 7:00pm in the evenings, but if it is curried chicken, I have a real difficulty keeping that pledge.

I've been overseas and had curried chicken, but that only helped to convince me that there is none quite like the Jamaican version. Is it just the the Jamaican curry powder? I doubt it.

Yes, part of it has to be our local seasonings but a friend of mine recently said that if you take the same seasonings and prepare the dish, say in the USA, you still don't quite get the same taste.

OK, he may be overly patriotic, but take nothing away from him, he knows that Jamaican curried chicken is darn tasty.

Here's the recipe, give it a try nuh!
