Meaning
Chicken cooked in Jamaican curry — seasoned and simmered with plenty of curry powder, onion, garlic, thyme, scotch bonnet, and often potato, until the sauce is thick and golden. A legacy of the island's Indian heritage, curry chicken (like curry goat) is a beloved everyday and party dish, served over white rice or with roti.
