    This recipe is very authentic to taste. I made a couple of changes: seasoning the actual chicken, an extra pepper, and additional curry to taste. Was excellent over rice.

    I liked this one. I eat curry at quite a few Jamaican restaurants and this one seems pretty authentic. I used 2 scotch bonnets and heat was spot on. Like others have said, it needed a wee bit of salt (as well as some black pepper. The chicken stock was added a minute before the coconut milk. Also, all skin was removed from the chicken first. I added 3 cloves of minced garlic when the onions, ginger and peppers were almost done, and I also added a few sprigs of fresh thyme for the simmer. This is a great, yet simple recipe.
