🇯🇲 Jamaica recipe
Brown Stew Chicken
Brown stew chicken is the everyday comfort food of Jamaica, found in every home kitchen and cook shop across the island. The technique of browning the chicken in caramelized sugar before stewing is distinctly Jamaican and creates a rich, dark gravy. The dish is a masterclass in layered flavors, with sweet and savory notes from the browning sauce complementing the aromatic herbs and peppers.
