I’ve been making Guyanese chicken curry for many years, and it is always a crowd-pleaser. I love this dish because it can be made quickly and tastes great! Guyanese food has a lot of hot pepper, so this dish has just the right amount of kick.

How To Make Chicken Curry Guyanese Recipe?

Ingredients

3 lb Chicken, cut into halves, drumsticks, and thighs.
1 onion Salad
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2. Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and rub it well. Leave for 15 minutes.

Step 3. Place a large Dutch oven on the stove over medium heat, add the oil and when hot, add curry powder, stir for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, then add onion, garlic, and ginger. Saute for about 5 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 4. Add tomatoes and stir for 10 minutes or until the tomatoes break down and form a sauce.

Step 5. Add chicken, and stir to coat the chicken with the curry powder mixture. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, cook for about 30 minutes stirring every 10 minutes or until the juices run clear when you pierce a thigh with a fork, or it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.

Step 6. While the chicken is cooking, make the rice. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and salt it to taste. Add rice and cook until tender but still firm (about 15-20 minutes).

Step 7. Place the sauce in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth when the curry is done. Purée with chicken, stirring to combine well.

Step 8. To serve rice, place 1 cup of rice in each bowl and then place half of the chicken and sauce mixture on top (as much as desired). Garnish with a little parsley.

Step 9. Enjoy!

Does Guyanese Say Chicken Curry Or Chicken Curry?

I see two ways to say it, chicken curry and chicken curry. I was just curious if there was a difference in how they say it. I am Guyanese but live in the United States and haven’t been to St. Vincent in over 20 years, so I’m not sure.

Chicken curry, as in a chicken dish, and chicken curry are two different things. The word curry is used to describe dishes prepared in India and Pakistan. Chicken Curry refers to the Guyanese curried chicken, a dish similar to Indian curried chicken but without coconut milk.
