This Caribbean style curry chicken recipe is easy and delicious. We love this recipe so much that we had to share it with you guys.
Curry chicken is a huge thing in the Caribbean. Although, curry wasn’t created in the Caribbean, we love to cook with it. During the colonial era, Indian cuisine was introduced to the Caribbean, many of their spices were introduced to the Natives. One of those many spices was curry seasoning. We took the seasoning and made it our own, just like many other things.
Caribbean curry powder and Indian curry powder are different. The spices used are different and the taste is different as well. So we recommend choosing a Caribbean curry powder for this recipe. Although there isn’t anything wrong with the Indian brand, we just prefer the Caribbean brand.
