The Best Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken
Ingredients
  • Chicken parts: 8 to 9 pieces, preferably legs and boneless/skinless thighs, for their rich flavor and tenderness.
  • Vegetable or canola oil: 3 tablespoons, used for browning the chicken to achieve a flavorful sear.
  • Scallions (green onions): 4, chopped, to introduce a mild, oniony flavor that complements the chicken.
  • Yellow onion: ½ medium, chopped, providing a sweet, aromatic base to the stew.
  • Bell pepper: 1 large, chopped, adding sweetness and color to the dish.
  • Carrots: 2 medium-sized, chopped, for a touch of sweetness and additional nutrients.
  • Garlic: 6 cloves, minced or 1 tablespoon garlic paste, for a robust garlicky undertone.
  • Brown sugar: 1 tablespoon, packed light or dark, to balance the savory spices with a hint of sweetness.
  • Smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon, offering a smoky flavor that enhances the overall taste profile.
  • Jamaican ground allspice: ½ teaspoon, a key spice that provides a warm, aromatic depth.
  • Ground ginger: ½ teaspoon, adding a slightly spicy and pungent kick.
  • Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper: To taste, for seasoning the chicken and enhancing all the flavors.
  • Browning sauce (e.g., Grace brand): 3 teaspoons, essential for achieving the stew’s signature rich color and savory taste.
  • Tomato sauce: 1 (8-ounce) can, contributing a tangy tomato flavor and helping thicken the stew.
  • Fresh thyme: 4 to 6 sprigs, infusing the dish with its aromatic, earthy essence.
  • Bay leaves: 2, adding a subtle layer of flavor complexity.
  • Scotch bonnet pepper: 1, left whole, to infuse the stew with its fruity heat without making it overly spicy.
  • Chicken stock or broth: 3 cups, creating the flavorful liquid base in which the chicken stews to perfection.
