Add chicken thighs, all-purpose seasoning, 1 Tbsp of curry powder, onion, green onions, green pepper, garlic cloves, scotch bonnet pepper (if using), and thyme to a large bowl and combine, making sure all chicken pieces are covered with the seasoning.

This delicious Jamaican Curry Chicken is comfort food at its best. Made with authentic curry ingredients for a traditional Jamaican curry.

This Jamaican Curry Goat recipe is a flavorful, succulent dish made with Jamaican curry, goat pieces, and other spices. It’s a traditional Jamaican dish that you and your family will love.

Jamaican Curry Goat

2.5 Tablespoon Jamaican curry powder (separated)

ginger powder

allspice

thyme (or 1 tsp dried)

Tablespoon oil

scotch bonnet pepper

Rinse goat meat with vinegar and water.

Season goat meat with 1 ½ Tbsp curry powder, all-purpose seasoning, ground ginger, allspice, onion, garlic cloves, and thyme. Marinate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.

Remove onion and garlic from goat and set aside.

Set an electric pressure cooker, like an Instant Pot, on high sauté and add oil. Add goat meat and brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove goat from insert and add 1 Tbsp oil and remaining curry powder and sauté for about 10 seconds. Then add onions and garlic and sauté until softened. About 4 minutes. If the onions look dry, add a little water and continue to sauté.

Add goat and water to the pressure cooker and cover the pressure cooker. Cook for 40 minutes on high pressure.  Allow to naturally release for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure.

Once all the pressure has been released, open the pressure cooker. Place on sauté for 10-15 minutes, add potatoes and a whole scotch bonnet pepper. Cook until potatoes have softened. Remove scotch bonnet pepper.

Making curry goat on the stovetop is similar to making it in the pressure cooker. Follow the above directions except cook the goat in a large covered pot over low heat for 1.5-2 hours, until the goat is tender. Add the chopped potatoes during the last 20 minutes of cooking.

Stovetop

Second time I've made this,  first time stove top and today in the pressure cooker, i won't change a thing, very nice 👍.

Just made this and my kitchen smells exactly the way my mom’s used to smell on Sundays. Thanks for helping me pull those old school memories to the present!

When would you add the scotch bonnet if cooking on the stove as opposed to a pressure cooker??

Thank you for raising my curry goat game! I finally have that back of yard flavor. The only think to make it more authentic would be to be 10 years old again, having my grandmother standing over a coal pot and telling me and my cousins to go and set the table for dinner! Thanks again.

Made this yesterday with the Rice and Peas (Sorry can't call it beans...) and it was easy to make and delicious. It's great to have control of the amount of spice in the dish versus being at the mercy of take out.
