For a more authentic flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces. The bones add richness to the curry, and the skin provides extra flavor. Adjust the amount of curry powder to your liking. For a milder curry, start with 2 tablespoons and add more as needed. For a spicier curry, use up to 1/4 cup. Scotch bonnet peppers are traditionally used in West Indian cooking. If you can't find them, you can substitute habanero peppers or your favorite hot sauce. Serve with rice and peas, roti, or your favorite Caribbean sides.
