Ingredients:

2 tbsp Curry powder
2 tbsp All-purpose or Chicken seasoning
1 ½ tsp Salt Or salt to your liking

Directions:
1. Cut the chicken into small pieces and remove the skin. Wash the chicken in water, juice from the lime/lemon and the vinegar. Drain excess water and pat dry with a paper towel.

2. Add the chicken, onion, garlic, scotch bonnet pepper, pimento berries, ginger, salt, all-purpose seasoning, and 1 tbsp curry powder to a bowl. Mix and marinate for 30 minutes or more.

3. Add the cooking oil to a pot and the rest of the curry powder. On medium fire, allow the oil to heat, but don't let the curry powder get too dark.

4. Just as the curry powder changes color (golden brown), add the chicken and stir well. Let the chicken cook until lightly brown on all sides. If needed, add a bit of water to prevent burning on the bottom.

5. Add the carrot, potato and thyme. Add water (or coconut milk); enough to cover the chicken in the pot. Cover and leave to cook for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked, and the liquid is reduced to a curry gravy.
