Hey Chris thank you Brother! My wife is from Trinidad & I’m from Louisiana & my wife hasn’t acclimated herself with Louisiana cuisine fully. I’ve been come to Trinidad since 1997. My wife was pleasantly surprised with the curry shrimp & potatoes you helped me surprise her when she got off of work. Thank you. You’ve also help me make stew chicken for the first time. I’ve never been a cook. I see your joy in cooking. I love the way you explain the process & hope you incorporated it with what’s going on in your day. Comfort food for what’s going! I truly appreciate it & I’m beginning to enjoy cooking for my wife & son. Your clear & precise. My wife was very please. Can’t thank you enough! D 01/29/2018
Chris! You have brought the joy to my life bredren! No lie! Man, I missed the Caribbean food for a long time; now, instead of spending a pretty penny at going all over town to restaurants, I can prepare this at home! Tanks a million!
By the way… you are the bomb…. all your recipes are awesome and just hearing ur voice makes me smile… you are making a wonderful impact in peoples life
Im an American living in St. Lucia. My life is busy! I cook on my coal pot and enjoy cooking local dishes for my Lucian husband. Unfortunately I dont always have the time to watch my St.Lucian friends cook (perfect example is using sugar for color) and I learn best from watching so these videos are perfect. Today with this mans help I made fresh shado beni sauce which rocks and fresh green seasoning which I used on fresh barracuda steaks to be cooked on coals with breadfruit. Thanks so much for what you're doing.
i tried your oven bbq chicken yesterday & it was magnificient. now my family wants me to cook everyday -.-. thanks for ur recipes my granny is trini & i miss her cooking but to know i can cook similar to her is good. home sick. Vincy in England
I am trying to learn to cook.jamaican style stew chicken.Out of all the u-tube demos I've seen.Yours stand out the best..youre not talking crap.Many tutors assume their students are all at the same level and take things for granted but you did not. I know for eg the chicken has to be browned but you properly explained how,You show'd all the cooking stages visually and all your equipment was working for a beginner like me. that was great WELL DOWN. PS I have not tried it yet.
Thanks for posting. I've tried making the Trini version of stew chicken several times and it never came out quite the way I thought it should. Your video helped to clear up a few of the things that I wasn't clear on. Thanks again...can't wait to give it a try this week.
chris you're simply the best! today i Cooked Dhal and stew chicken for the 1st time by following you're method and recipe. both my parents loved it the way I cook it. greetings from Venezuela.
@Triniman50 funny you should mention that. We were on a cruise a few years back and I guess one of the head chefs was from Trinidad and Tobago, so for lunch at one of the many restaurants, we saw Chicken pelau. Our daughters went ballistic as they were craving "home" food. While eating they came across cinnamon sticks in the dish.. added a nice touch to it. Thx for the tip.
This is the 2nd time I'm preparing this recipe, I modify it slightly according to the ingredients I've got... THANKS SO MUCH!!! It's become one of my hubby's favorite.
I made this on monday night for my dinner on tuesday... It was so delish, i will be cooking this again for sure.... i am going to cook the breakfast on the grill next but in the oven Thanks for sharing great easy meals
Chris, you are BEYOND AWESOME! I've cooked several of your recipes (this one, pelau, and used the Classic Jerk Marinade) and they always come out tasting just like the my faves from my local Trini restaurant. SO appreciate you!!!!
I did this recipe today it was great my kids ate all there food I just didn't know what side to do so we didn't have one thanks I'll be looking for more recipes
Thanks so much for this..I looked all over for this recipe. A lady in Jamaica made the best stew chicken ever and I always wanted to know how to make it.
You have some of the best instruction videos out here on the web. Your depth in how you explain each method is concise! Much appreciated! I followed your Chicken Curry for Christmas and it was a huge hit! Keep em coming! Love from the Mitten State!
Brother Chris, you have revitalized my kitchen man! I have been checking your videos for a while now and you haven't steered me wrong yet! keep 'em coming!
Thanks Chris, I made it using your video. It's tasted great!!! I'm Trini but it's my first time making Stew chicken. I guess my mother & late grandmother spoiled me but I'm ready to learn more Trini and other Caribbean dishes. I subscribed!!! Thanks again.
your recipies are tasty and easy to follow. I bet there are similarities to my mother in law's chicken recipie, as she is from Haiti. We have some Puerto Rican restaurants around here, but it is nice to be able to make this type of dish at home for my family.
thanks for your work brother. down in Houston and I'm trying to cook more like my great grandparents would've cooked. only thing I added was pimento berries (crushed) and coconut milk. Righteous food! Big up from Houston!
Live and let live, the best advice I can offer. People cook differently all over the world and believe it or not they grow old that way. Trying to force people do something your way, will never work. Do what you feel comfortable with and let other people do it the way they want.
@BoldnBeautifulMakeup they're very different in appearance and strength of flavor(somewhat) The shado beni is very strong compared to the cilantro. However, cilantro is a good substitute as the flavor is very similar.
I live in Trinidad and I think your videos are awesome! I can cook almost any and everything thanks to your videos! My husband licks his finger after eating my stewed chicken! :) Big up!
I can't begin to tell u how many times I've watched this video! I luv ur cookin Chris!!!! I'm Haitian n I must say u freakin RoCK!!! U make cookin seem sooo easy! Keep it up!!!
Mr Chris i just stumbled upon your video and started to watch it. I actually tried the channa in the oven was not bad at all. For the stew chickeb i like to add a bit of cinnamon to it, it gives it a really good taste. Thank you for bringing back all those memories of what i grew up on in Trinidad. Be bless.
@ikebanaJc This is a lovely meat dish which goes well with rice, roti (breads), a salad or even mashed potatoes. One of my faves is having a side of boiled ground provisions (yams, dasheen, eddoes, cassava etc)
Thank you so much for your detailed instructions! I just made this tonight & it lash!!!! It taste sooooo good! Like I've been making it all my life. You're the best! Thanks! #Yum
cooking this recipe and your rice and peas recipe among with listening to trini soca mix 2012 just made us feel like we are in trinidad that we never been to before. by the way, we killed it. i also subscribed cos we like you. greeting from slovakia.
Beautiful, thank you for this......yummy yummy. I was given a Dutch Pot by a friend who brought one back from Trinidad. It's very heavy and ideal for cooking food like this.......
he is a great tutor and does explain well, this is a great Caribbean style chicken..... but Jamaican Brownstew is different but check with all Jamaicans friends and get the common steps and you can do great brownstew within a few tries everyone has their input me included.
Yesss! You can use fresh Savory as a substitute for Spanish Thyme, tastes very similar. Also, I put some carrots and pigeon peas or red beans after the chicken has browned. The beans help to thicken the gravy. OR, take the chicken out after it's cooked and cook some dumplings in the gravy. By the way, I LOVE THAT POT, Chris!
My children are really appreciating my cooking since I found your recipes. Thank you!
I can relate with that. I really have learnt a lot from his videos👍
