Jamaican curry chicken
In Jamaica, curry is up there with soups and stews as a daily staple. The dish is a lingering legacy of the indentured Indian population who came to the shores of the Caribbean. The most popular curries are those laden with chicken. For best results, marinate for as long as possible. Riaz Phillips
