I am a former chef from Canada and worked in Jamaica, what we did to make this stew was as the chicken was finish its browning we added dark demerara/brown sugar and let it caramelize, then add the stock, carrots, onions, Jamaican starches like cassava, yellow yam and sweet potatoes, spice (allspice, cloves, thyme and pimento leaves) and cooked it until tender.





It is similar to the beef stew made there and in Trinidad with the brown dark sugar as aflavour and it colours the gravy a nice rich brown.
