Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper, chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened.
  3. Stir in the curry powder and cook for an additional 2 minutes to toast the spices.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, then return the chicken thighs to the pot. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover and cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and set aside. Continue to simmer the sauce until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the pot and coat it with the thickened curry sauce. Serve the Spice Island Curry Chicken hot with rice or roti.
