What it is
Chicken pieces (typically thighs and drumsticks) pan-seared to a golden brown then slowly braised in a rich, dark gravy infused with traditional Bahamian herbs, spices, and aromatics, without added sugars or starches.
Key ingredients
Chicken thighs and drumsticks, chicken broth, onions, bell peppers, garlic, ginger, thyme, allspice, browning seasoning (sugar-free), tomato paste (small amount), olive oil.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour is used for browning the chicken or thickening the gravy. Request a sugar-free browning agent (e.g., soy sauce based or burnt sugar substitute if available and keto-compliant). Avoid traditional starchy sides like rice or peas.
Watch out for
Sugar in browning agents or commercial seasoning blends. Use of flour/cornstarch to thicken gravy. Excessive onions/peppers if portion is too large.
