i finally tried your method of preparing stew chicken...man it was the best ever..thank you so much...p.s. nuh pay dem stupid ppl deh nuh mind...keep vlogging...plz do oxtail next
Great job.. Nice creativity. Just a little side note. Don't worry about the silly comments that you get because, chances are, they're from teenagers who dont know any better.
hey man i really think you have a kool approach to teaching and you make it very easy. Thank you very much for your helpful video! keep doing what u do!
@djchocolatte1 Thank you for your kind words. We all can't be as creative as Rembrandt, but, we all can be as creative as we wish when we put a pot on the stove and cook something. Cooking should be fun and personal, I think.
normal Jamaican Stew Chicken does have Ketchup. soy sauce is optional ( many do use it) and yea most people use red peppers most use can use both it does not matter. n if u was reading what he wrote it said we use the browning as well. cut it out n stop being negative. he did well kmt.
Normal Jamaican Stew Chicken dnt have green peppers..soya sauce or ketchup :/ please get it rght .. *smh* plus many of us use Browning..2 give a nice brown colour.
Just so that you know, I'm Spanish but my mother is Jamaican and I'm planning to surprise her today with your recipe. So thank you, sir, you have been very helpful!
AWESOME VIDEO!!! I dont knw why anyone would say anything negative. This recipe is great and authentic. I'm not jamaican but I knw lots of them. Please keep creating your videos, I'm definitely a fan. ...GOD BLESS
if you're gonna marinade the chicken, you should do it in the sauces, seasoning and herbs. Why do it with the veggies? Also... I completely disagree with your philosophy on eye balling ingredients. Both at home and in restaurants, it is important to scale correctly so you wont spend too much or too little.
I think your video is very good, looks delicious and you speak very clearly and describe the preparation very well! Some people, I don't know why they even bother to post a video. This was very good and I would attempt this dish.
bro, THANK YOU for sharing this video, i followed your video and made this dish, even added my own ingredients here and there so many times and I'LL NEVER GO HUNGRY AGAIN!
argh . well i seasoned the chicken with salt n pepper then i added the onions etc. i didnt know i was suppose to season everything. oh well. i also substituted the ketchup for some indain curry i got from the store.lets see how it comes out. next time i will pay more attention to the video. i guess i was too anxious.
excellent video! im a young jamaican that moved here couple of yrs now n i regret not paying attention to my mummy in the kitchen, but now your my second chance to mummies cooking, lol it might take a while for me to get it cuz u didnt mention time limit, burt i sub well made!
The only thing that you are missing is that you need to brown some sugar in the oil before you cook the chicken. West indian's use browned sugar in a lot of recipes. All you have to do is cook the sugar in the oil until it is dark, but not burn. The darker the better because it adds to the flavor.

@microdac brown sugar is used to brown the chicken. Jamaicans don't like white chicken. It's not a necessity but occasionally we use brown sugar but not all the time.
Lovely recipe. A bit different than how we do it further south (Trinidad and Tobago) but know that what you're doing is appreciated. I also sent you a link to a video I did on how we do stew chicken.
Iam a jamaican and i watch your video and i think you did well you got it right. But as for me i like my chicken dark so i use food browning on my chicken.
Really love your videos very informative...an helpful the tips u give also enjoy the background music it goes well with your style of instructing...i can't wait to see the next one...oh do you know how to do fish cakes?
@rodd78 . Yes. I have some videos on Codfish cake. Just go to my channel (Microdac) and then type in the word 'codfish'. Thank you very much for the compliment. If you have a special request for a cooking video, please let me know.
great video. have you thought about adding 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the stew chicken while it simmers? It adds a nice flavor to the already tasty dish.
@dagopremium You are absolutely right about adding brown sugar. I have started using brown cane sugar (Instead of refined sugar), and coconut oil in my cooking. I found out the truth about coconut oil, and have discovered that it is VERY GOOD for you in so many ways.
You can purchase browinng from the local store. I like to use grace or maggi from the carribean grocery store but if you dont have that option. your local gtocery store should have ~gravy master or kitchen bouquet~ these both work great.
i can tell that you have it figured out, its the little things in life that make it worth while, im making ur chicken recipe right now, its awsome, i have favorited this video.
Nice job! it\s colour was just off a bit. It should be a rich brown colour. There are three ways I know to do this. 1 is add browning, to the marinate and a little more while it cooks. Browning is made from burning brown sugar anyways. You can REALLYbrown the chicken which will come off into the colour of the stew. Or you can cook brown sugar and oil into a carmel and them cook the chicken. Also add some cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice. In addition to the ketchup you can use tomato paste.
you can make browning sauce by cooking brown sugar and water and reducing it and then burn it a little till it turns dark. Also, you can add potatoes and carrots.
@Tchrevor when did we start adding cinnamon and nutmeg to stew chicken? all he got wrong was the time he use to make it get brown, and as you said browning or caramelize sugar would have done the job . Might just cook me some for dinner this evening.
wow i love the pics .... i like nature ... good job on the stew ...... i'm a jamaican n while watching this vid i was cooking some stew chicken too :)
Thanks for sharing! I'm gonna try this one. I've recently discovered my love for cooking (though it's DEFINITELY in my blood), so I love trying new recipes!
You are right about the negative comments. Just make the vid. I can't even cook very well and you have inspired me to try. You are a gentleman and a poet. Keep up the great videos.
I use two cameras in making videos: The Canon HV20 for true HD (about $550 these days), and for really quick videos, and as a pocket camera, I will use the Panasonic TZ5. Thank you for your kind comments. Do you have a suggestion for a video?
The spider is a mystery to me, too. As for the Day Lilly. It is the easiest thing to grow. Plant it once and it comes back every year; bigger and bigger.
Lol. I doubt that Mr. Micro! But thank you for all of your wonderful works. Also, I've been googling like crazy trying to figure out that spider. It's really pretty. As are your lillies.
i think its called escovich fish...yeah if you could make a video i would appreciate it
