A Crispy Twist on a Caribbean Classic
A Crispy Twist on a Caribbean Classic
Moruga, Trinidad, is not only known for having one of the world’s hottest peppers, like the ones I used in making my take on the World’s Hottest Homemade Peppersauce a few years ago. Having a vibrant Merikin community, the Moruga Hill Rice is world-renowned. Which they brought to Trinidad and Tobago around 1812.
About 12 years ago, I made a similar Pepper Chicken recipe when I competed in a global cooking competition in Seoul, South Korea. Yet, I cannot believe I’ve never shared this recipe with you until now. We’ve done Pepper Crab, Lemon Pepper Wings, Caribbean Pepper Calamari, Pepper Lobster, Pepper Wings, and Pepper Shrimp, to name a few. But never this one.
As a lil fella growing up in the Caribbean, I enjoyed Stewed Chicken Liver, something I came to learn was not the norm for children my age. That love graduated to hearts and gizzards, and not only the sort of Caribbean stewed version, but in a deep and rich curry base as well.
A fast, flavorful curry chicken dish with wings, perfect for busy weeknights or Caribbean roti cravings.
This classic one-pot dish is made with rice, peas, and usually a meat of some kind (marinated overnight), simmered in coconut milk and finished with chopped herbs.
These Weeknight Herb‑Crusted Chicken Leg Quarters are designed for busy evenings, using simple pantry spices and minimal prep for maximum flavor.
The original Jamaican Jerk Marinade was shared in 2011. After many requests, I then shared the Mild version for those of you who love the flavors of Jamaican Jerk without the heat. This is a more updated and refined version (arguably, there’s no need for it) of that original recipe I shared when I did the Smoked Jerk Turkey a few years back.
Classic Caribbean stewed chicken changed up a bit by adding mushrooms and olives to an already-classic way to enjoy island-style chicken. You can also marinate the chicken in advance to really speed up this recipe!
If you’re looking for the bold flavors of a good Caribbean Jerk Chicken, this recipe requires little work and not too many ingredients.
Brushed with herb-infused olive oil and stuffed with fresh scallions, sage, thyme, and rosemary, this oven-roasted chicken will be tender, juicy, and packed with flavors. Simple and tasty!
These Curry Stew Chicken Wings are simple to make and are packed with a flavor and spicy kick from the scotch bonnet peppers.
