As a man who cooks for a living as well as for his woman, I couldn’t help but shout, “That’s Right Man” when Chef Deddy said young man you need to learn to cook for your wife. God Bless you sir!

The recipe here. I made it - delicious is an understatement. Hope it helps! All credit to @deddyskitchen. Lord have mercy!

Jamaican Curry Chicken

Clean the chicken.

Remove the skin.

Cut chicken into smaller pieces, about 3-4 inch chunks. (I used thighs that were all ready cut up)

For the dry-rub spice mixture: In a smaller, separate bowl-
One heaping Tablespoon each of the following:
Seasoning salt (substituted with Morton’s)
Garlic Plus (substituted McCormick’ Cajun seasoning)
FlavorRice (substituted with Badia’s Sazon Tropical seasoning [the one with the green packaging])
All Purpose Seasoning (used Jamaican Choice)
Vegeta seasoning
Ginger powder
Paprika

Stir together, then set aside.

Add ~20 pimento seeds (All spice seeds) to the chicken.

Coat meat with oil just enough for the dry-rub mixture to coat the chicken. Rub the pimento seeds and oil into the chicken.

Add about a quarter of the dry-rub spice mixture and rub throughout the chicken. Slowly incorporate the remainder of the dry mixture on to the chicken to make sure it is evenly coated.

Take about 4 full Tablespoons of Betapac Curry Powder (I used Blue Mountain Country Spicy Curry Powder. Caution: This is extremely spicy) and pour on the meat.

(I used a glove for this next step to avoid a paper-cut burn and staining) Rub the curry into the chicken.

For the veggies:
~25 thyme twigs
2 scallions, sliced lengthwise then smashed
1/2 each: red, green and yellow bell peppers, sliced
1/2 tomato, cubed
2 Scotch Bonnet peppers (These are spicy!), sliced
10 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 red onion, sliced
2 inch chunk of ginger, smashed
*4 carrots, cubed (add closer to the end of the cooking)
*2 potatoes, cubed (add closer to the end of the cooking)

Set aside.

In a large dutch over pot on high, pour in a little oil, enough to sauté. Allow oil to heat. Add ~3 Tablespoons curry to the hot oil. Allow to burn about 20-30 seconds. The burn helps the curry not be caustic on the stomach.

Add all the chicken. Don’t get rid of the bowl yet. Take the bowl that contained the chicken and spice residue. Add about 1/2 cup to contain the residue. This is flavor.

Set it aside.

Cover the lid. Allow to cook while on high. About 10 minutes/ until a little pink remains. After 10 minutes, add half of the sliced veggies (noted above) to the pot. Add the residual chicken flavor water that was set aside to the boiling pot. Stir, then turn down to Medium heat.

After about 15 minutes, add the remaining veggies when it is boiling. Add the potatoes and carrots. Stir. Turn up to High heat. Cover with lid.

Based the remaining cook time on the potatoes (3-7 minutes).

Enjoy.

Update: i make this at least every 3 weeks for my family and friends. It’s great. I decrease the hot flavoring for my 7-year-old niece and now it is her favorite food. Perfection!

This was amazing!!!! My man had asked for curry chicken cuz a coworker had brought it for lunch at work, and he tried it. I was like IM A MEXICAN WE DON'T COOK THAT! This was my first time making it and let me tell you, i impressed myself and everyone at the house 😊 thank you for your help. I was nervous but i did it.

[yolandawilliams]

This MAN seems to be a very good example of a HUSBAND, FATHER, PERSON that represents ALL the GOOD that exists in the MEN of COLOR...
It would be a WONDERFUL thing IF this type of tutorial would be sent to those guys who are incarcerated who need to SEE how a MAN handles HIS business...which is, give honor to the LORD and HIS FAMILY !!!!
I encourage you MR. DEDDY...and I enjoy your SKILLS... Your FAMILY certainly seems to treasure YOU and that is ALL GOOD !!!

[UltimateRavens_Fan]

[Thelittlestvick]

As a daughter of a dad who did most/all of the cooking, this warms my heart :’) thank you for teaching us, Chef Deddy

[lisaramirez]

Deddy, you are the poster of what a real father, a true husband and a real man should be, every time you smile I smile. I only just discovered your program and I’m hooked, I’m Jamaican and finally I’m learning to cook my Island Food. Don’t stop, you should be on TV. Thank you.

[vanessii]

I’m making this for the first time, for my fiancé, as we speak! Looks AMAZING so far, thank you for this recipe!! 💖

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
I'm totally guessing the time but it wasn't specific so this is what I did!

Burn curry 2 - 3 mins
Add chicken, let coat for 3 - 5 mins or until it's brown how you like it
(Covered) (on high)
Add water to chicken bowl to sop up the good seasonings
(Sit to the side)
Add the water from the chicken bowl
Plus more hot water for gravy
Add half of chopped veggies
Let cook covered for 15 - 20 mins
Add the rest of the chopped veggies
Mix and cover for 10 - 15 mins
Add potatoes and carrots
Mix and cover for 15 - 20 mins or until potatoes are soft and done!
Adjust seasonings and heat, make sure it's a soft boil most of the time.

Then add the rice delicious!
Thanks for the recipe, just helping others who may need the extra instructions such as myself but I learned how to wing it, thanks Deddy! Lol 💕 much love fam

I just love Daddy's Kitchen. Not only can you cook, that smile is everything.💙❤💙

[normamojica]

Hi Deddy, I'm Puerto Rican and I love, love, love Jamaican food. Out of all the tutorials on YouTube, yours is the best. I went out and bought everything I needed to make curry chicken following your instructions. I know it will come out delish. Your daughter is so funny and you deddy are an awesome Family Man. God Bless You and Your Family .💙

I'm an architect in Philadelphia, when I had a heart operation, I missed the food I loved. Hospital food is not encouraging especially when trying not to die. As I recovered with uncertainty home ; which is a long time and a gloomy one; I came across Deddy's Videos, and learned from his well explained instructions to make wonderful dishes. I now have a great life cooking, preparing and innovating to my "heart's" desire, and specially hosting friends to enjoy my learned abilities and desired to resume a long...long tasty life.

[tanyasaunders]

I think it's cool how deddy isn't ashamed to speak of his Lord to the whole world. His heavenly Father won't be ashamed of him either.🤷🏽‍♀️

[timothymercer]

Man I am still watching and in amazement at how much Deddy loves what he is doing. A true cook must love it and here it is obvious. I love the narration and interaction with Sasha...you provide so much culture, love, and fun in the kitchen. I am going to make curry chicken tomorrow.

[charmrobinson]
