About Jamaican chicken patty

A Jamaican Chicken Patty is a flaky, golden pastry filled with seasoned chicken, embodying the bold flavors of Jamaican cuisine. The chicken filling is typically spiced with a mix of turmeric, curry powder, thyme, scallions, and scotch bonnet peppers, delivering a savory and mildly spicy taste. Originating in Jamaica, this handheld delight is a staple snack known for its portability and satisfying flavor. Its crust, made from flour and butter or shortening, is enriched with turmeric for color and flavor but is high in fats due to its buttery ingredients. While the chicken provides a lean protein source, the patty’s high carbohydrate and fat content can make it calorie-dense depending on preparation methods. Enjoyed best as an occasional treat, the Jamaican Chicken Patty delivers an authentic taste of the island’s culinary heritage.
