Video -Fried Chicken Stew
Ingredients:
- 1lb of chicken(chopped)
- 5 fresh tomatoes
- 2 and half onions
- 1 whole ginger
- 2 pieces of fresh garlic
- 2 scotch bonnet pepper(Jamaican hot pepper)
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 2 tablespoons seasoning salt
- 1 tablespoon red pepper
- 1 onga or knorr cube
- 1 green bell pepper(optional)
- 1 small tin/can of tomato paste
- 2 carrots(optional)
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Oil for frying
To season the chicken:
- 1-2 tablespoons seasoning salt
- 1 tablespoon red pepper
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes(optional)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Method:
- Clean the chicken, remove the skin(optional to the skin lovers), wash the chicken very well.(I always soak my chicken in some water and vinegar and then wash it again)
- Season chicken with spices in a medium sauce pan, on medium heat, steam the chicken until its no longer pink.
- In a frying pan or deep fryer, fry the chicken until its golden brown, then set aside
- Blend the tomatoes, 2 onions, ginger, scotch bonnet peppers and garlic. Slice the remaining half of the onion and in a medium/large sauce pan add the 2 tablespoons of oil. Add in the sliced onions and stir for about a minute.
- Add in the blended ingredients with the tomato paste and allow the stew to cook for about 20-30mins(you can add 1 tablespoon of seasoning salt, some parsley and half of the onga or knorr cube at this step, I do that so everything cooks with it & after I add in the chicken I then add in the remaining spices to adjust the taste)
- Chop the green pepper and carrots in medium sizes, check on the stew and once it looks almost ready(look at the picture below or in the video) add in the fried chicken, adjust spices to your taste and let it simmer for awhile
- Add in the chopped green pepper and carrots and the chicken stew is ready to be enjoyed with some white rice, yellow rice, spag rice, boiled yam or anything of your choice.
