How to Make Red Stripe Chicken
- Clean and pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
- In a blender or using a mortar and pestle, combine the scallions, thyme, garlic, and scotch bonnet peppers until finely chopped or pureed.
- Rub the jerk seasoning and the blended mixture all over the chicken pieces. Let marinate for at least 15-20 minutes (longer is better!).
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes per side).
- Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- While the chicken cools slightly, prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, whisk together the tomato paste, Red Stripe beer, brown sugar, and browning sauce (if using).
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Dip the fried chicken pieces into the sauce, ensuring they are fully coated. Serve immediately and enjoy!
