do you guys put ketchup in your brown stew chicken?

of course but you can't overdo it, too mush ketchup will make it too sweet and you won't taste the seasoning

ok this is my own Jamerican Brown stew recipe

1lb chicken leg quarter (maybe 2lbs if you greedy or a whole chicken ) chop and cut to desired size if you like small peices

1 bottle gravy master browning sauce

1-2 peices of freah thyme

1 stalk of green onion(eskellion)

vegetable oil(maybe 1/3 cup or just enough to cover the bottom of the pot)

1 small onion

1 small tomato

black pepper (maybe 1/2 teaspoon)

fresh garlic or garlic powder

bell pepper or scotch bonnet pepper (any kind if you like peppers)

seasoned salt (i use morton or lawrys)

ketchup(as desired not too much)

ok now wash your chicken then put your desired amount of dry seasoning directly on the chicken( garlic powder, seasoned salt and black pepper) then add the browning sauce to the chicken (maybe a tablespoon depending how much chicken you have and how dark you want it)pour some oil in a pot or sauce pan (whichever one you prefer use a strong one you don't want to use the thin one since it will burn your food quick) heat the oil very hot , then add the seasoned chicken and DO NOT LOWER THE HEAT UNTIL THE CHICKEN IS BROWNED AND STIR THE CHICKEN AS IT BROWNS then once you brown the chicken(no longer look raw) add the fresh seasonings(garlic, onion , green onion, tomato, pepper and thyme) and lower the heat cover the pot and cook until the meat is tender(about 30-45 minutes) then add a small amount of ketchup to thicken the gravy then stir and let it simmer(maybe 5 minutes) AND THATS IT! JAMERICAN BROWN STEW
