Prepare the jerk marinade by combining hot curry powder, jerk seasoning, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, celery powder, onion, scotch bonnets, spring onion, fresh thyme, garlic, and cinnamon sticks in a blender with some water to make a paste.

Wash the chicken with vinegar and combine it with the marinade, ensuring it's well coated.

Let the chicken marinate in the paste for 2-3 days.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Place the marinated chicken in a casserole dish with chopped peppers and potato, adding a bit of cold water.

Cover the dish and bake in the oven for 1.5 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Remove the chicken and place it under the grill for about 5 minutes to crisp up the skin.

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the yardy sauce by simmering the remaining marinade with the cooked potato and any leftover vegetables for about 15-20 minutes, breaking down the potato for texture.

Finish the sauce with gravy granules to thicken it up before serving.
