Jamaican Chicken Curry image

Traditional curry recipe. Thyme, allspice and Scotch bonnet peppers are some ingredients used in Jamaican cuisine. Allspice is a berry of the pimiento tree so it is also known as pimento or Jamaican pepper. It is called allspice because it tastes like a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. So if you wanted to, you could substitute a cinnamon stick for the allspice in this. Serve with rice and salad. Note - prep is fairly short, but cooking is approx 1 1/2 hours

This was the worst curry I've ever had. The chicken was dry and the sauce was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my curry turned out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't come out right.

This curry was delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they came out so juicy and flavorful. The sauce was also amazing, with just the right amount of heat. I served it over rice and it was a perfect meal.
