1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
One 3-pound whole chicken, cut into quarters
Oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

1/2 pound fresh ginger
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic

16 ounces stewed tomatoes
2 cups chicken stock

  • For the gravy: Blend the ginger in a blender with 1/2 cup water. Set aside.
  • Add olive oil, garlic and onions to a saucepan on medium heat and saute until translucent and soft. Add stewed tomatoes and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose seasoning blend, thyme, bay leaf, Scotch bonnet pepper and 1 cup blended ginger (save the remainder for another use) and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Blend the flour with 1/4 cup water in a small bowl. Strain the gravy, then add flour mixture to thicken. Finish gravy with butter over low heat. Plate chicken with rice and peas, then spoon gravy over chicken and rice. Enjoy!

I think I added too much ginger. The gravy was way too spicy for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken didn't come out crispy. It was still tasty, but I was disappointed.
