Just like someone else that reviewed this recipe, I'm American and dating a Trinidadian. Although he loves my baking and thinks I'm a good cook he was totally doubting my ability to pull of Trini Stewed Chicken. The man was in total shock when he saw it saying he didn't even expect it to look like stewed chicken. Not only did it look right, it tasted great! He loved it and I loved it too. It was so tender and so flavorful. Thank you so much for this recipe and for going into so much detail for each step. I couldn't have pulled it off otherwise.

I made this recipe a few weeks ago and must say it is THE BEST stew chicken I've tasted! My husband and I are both of Caribbean descent so we know good stew chicken when we taste it! I gave the recipe to my cousin and when I called her to find out how she was doing with it, she was on her third plate! Definitely a great combination of flavours and I am making this for my family at Thanksgiving. I can't wait for the rave reviews!

* a tip--i found myself in the wacky position of having a thin and watery sauce, i just poured everything out in a bowl, and restarted the steps of browning the sugar, then drained the chicken (not rinse) and put back in the pot. and ketchup is an old trick in lieu of tomatoes!!

i have to say a *HUGE* thanks for going into the details about carmelizing the chicken. for 5 years now, i've been making "stink" stew chicken! either too sweet or too burned... being Trini myself, i always depended on my mom for the excellent cooking... now that i'm married & have to do it myself I greatly appreciate the level of detail that went in to explain exactly when to throw in the chicken! that was always my problem and I now have it right thanks to you!

Haven't tried this, though it looks correct from how one of my Trinidadian friends showed me. In Guyanese cooking we do a similar Stew Chicken but season with soy sauce and ketchup. I can't wait to try this, I've been craving a reeeal good stew chicken for a while now, thanks!

I had so much fun making this. Well, almost. I was a little nervious about caramelizing the chicken. I've caramelized things before and know how one minute it looks like it's not going to be ready for a while, and then you blink and it's burnt beyond hope. Thankfully for me, I didn't blink, or have to scratch my nose, or pluck any thorns out of any lion's paw, because I got it just right, which made me anxious to get the rest of the meal on the road. I used chicken breast portions, which worked beautifully. I left out and bitters and the Wocestershire sauce. For the hot suace I used a yellow Jamaican hot sauce I picked up the last time I was in New York. We had this with plain white rice for our Friday night dinner and it was very successful! I think I'll be caramelizing chicken a lot more often in the future!

I didn't actually try the recipe because I am Trinidadian. I looked at it and knew that it was absolutely right. It's true tht it only sounds difficult until you go through the process once. Afterwards, this is very easy and full of flabor. Good comment about the Tabasco sauce - pepper sauce must be Habanero based to give real fire imho! Thanks for posting so many good, traditional recipes. I can't wait for my Naparima Girls' cookbook to arrive tomorrow.
