Dads Curried Chicken Recipes

DAD'S CURRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and toss with the lime juice. Drain, rinse the chicken with cold water, and drain again. Remove the chicken from the bowl and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place the chicken in another bowl with the Green Seasoning, salt, chili pepper, and garlic. Toss well to coat and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but ideally overnight.
• Combine the curry powder with just enough water to form a thick paste. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add the curry paste and onion. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes over medium-low heat-do not allow the curry to scorch. Add the chicken pieces and stir well to coat. Add the stock or water, cover, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.
• Remove the lid and simmer for 5 minutes more over medium-high heat, until the sauce reduces by one-third. Serve with roti or white rice.

CURRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, heat the butter and saute the onion, garlic, and ginger until the onion is soft, but not brown. Add the curry powder and chiles, stirring so that they do not stick or burn. Add the vinegar. There should be enough to make a smooth paste.(You may need up to 1/4 cup more vinegar.) Cover the chicken pieces with the paste and place them in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. Allow the chicken pieces to marinate for at least 2 hours. When ready to cook, place the chicken pieces in a large frying pan and add enough water to reconstitute the paste and prevent scorching. Cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes. (You may find that you will have to add more water to prevent scorching.) After 30 minutes, add the potatoes, cover and continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and chicken are done.
