1. 1

   Cut 1 kg of chicken into pieces and marinate with 100 ml soy sauce, Caribbean spices (thyme, allspice, garlic, ginger) and a little Scotch Bonnet for at least 1 hour (overnight is better).

   ⏱️ approx. 70 min

   💡 Tip: Brown stew chicken is a Jamaican classic – chicken braised in a dark, spiced sauce. Marinating is key to developing the deep flavor.

2. 2

   Brown the marinated chicken all over in a pot until it develops color. The soy sauce and a little sugar give the characteristic dark color.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: The intense browning is what gives the dish its name and produces the dark, full-bodied sauce. The chicken must become properly brown.

3. 3

   Add 150 g bell pepper and 100 g onions cut into strips, deglaze with a little water or broth and simmer covered for 30 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce is thick.

   ⏱️ approx. 35 min

   💡 Tip: Let it braise slowly so the chicken becomes tender and the sauce thickens. Fresh thyme rounds off the dish.
