Make a Perfect Jamaican Curry

Try this authentic jamaican curry chicken recipe that was adapted from a curry goat recipe.  Although goat is the traditional meat used in this dish, it's hard to find and not very popular with the children.  This recipe uses scotch bonnet pepper which is one of the hottest peppers in the world.  Removing the seeds can moderate the heat, but if you don't like your food that hot, substitute with a milder pepper or pepper sauce.
