Hey guys welcome back to my channel this is Shirani so today I'll be showing you
how I make Belizean stew chicken I'm starting off with a whole chicken that
I'm going to cut up and wash with lime if you don't have lime you can use
vinegar either one will work so after I got my chicken nice and clean I'm going
to add some Season-All on it and Season-All is my go to salt I know a lot of
people use regular table salt but for me I always put Season-All on everything
I have several different ways how I make stew chicken I'll be sharing them with
you over time and then you can decide for yourself which one you like best
to a nonstick pot over medium-high heat I'm adding 1 tablespoon of oil and if you
could use a nonstick pot that would be best to get your chicken nice and brown
I've gotten so many requests to do Belizean stew chicken so it's finally
here for you guys and as always the exact measurements are listed below
don't forget to check that out
I let that go for like 20 minutes until all the water has cooked out and at that
point it's just hard to get brown and that's when I like to add my garlic and
onion
I let that cook ten more minutes until everything has gotten really nice and
brown that's how I like my chicken because I don't like to see any white
chicken in a the pot now I'm going to add some water to the pot and just enough
water to cover the chicken I'm adding some black pepper to that culantro
and if you live here in the States you can check out Asian supermarkets or
Latin stores and you'll find culantro I got mine from Fiesta and then of course
you can't forget the recado it wouldn't be stew chicken if you no have the recado in it
so I like to put mine in a little bowl and put some water in it and use my
spoon to mix it around so it could dissolve before I put it in the pot
for those of you who don't know what recado is I'll have a link below for you guys
but all the ones I found online they call it achiote paste but it's
basically the same thing so anyway you want to give everything a good stir
cover the pot and let that cook for 30 minutes on medium heat I like mine with
a lot of gravy I know usually you see people cook it
and it barely have any gravy in it but I feel like I need my gravy and you know
when you put it over rice on beans or split peas or anything like that like
you want some gravy so this is how I like mine if you don't want so much
gravy in yours just cook it a little bit more like an extra 5 minutes or so
but I like it this way
okay I'll catch you in my next one bye
