Directions
- Rinse chicken in a large bowl with cold water and 1 tablespoon white vinegar. Pat dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, add chicken, pour salad dressing over and season with seasoned salt.
- In a large skillet, heat 1/2 cup of the garlic oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken parts and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside on a plate.
- In a wide-bottom 6-quart (6 L) pot, heat 3 tablespoons of the reserved garlic oil over medium heat.
- Remove tough outer layers from lemongrass stalk and discard. Dice lemongrass and add to oil with onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes more. Add ketchup and pineapple soda and stir. Add hot stock and bring to a boil.
- Stir in bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, browning, Scotch bonnet pepper and bring to a boil. Add chicken. Reduce heat to medium, cover with a lid that is slightly ajar, and cook for 25 minutes.
- Add bell peppers and coconut cream. Adjust seasoning and cook for 15 more minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165°F (74°C). Serve over rice. Drizzle green vinaigrette over GoomBay Chicken.
