Most recipes have one step in common: searing the meat to lock in flavor and build a rich foundation for the sauce. But in Jamaica, they start with a bold extra step that sets their stew apart - caramelizing brown sugar in the pan before the chicken ever hits it. That burnt-sweet base infuses the dish with a rich, dark color and deep, smoky complexity that are hallmarks of many of the best Caribbean dishes.
