Brown Stew Chicken at Delphine's Jamaican Restaurant

14377 E. Nine Mile Rd., Warren; 586-217-5000

Is there a better Jamaican dish than brown stew chicken? No. And Delphine's, the new-ish Jamaican spot in Warren, does an excellent take. The bird is caramelized in what likely includes browning sauce and brown sugar, then slow-cooked in a marinade. Delphine's chef said she adds onion, tomato, thyme, allspice, pimento, scallions, and Scotch bonnet peppers at various points. It's super tender and slides right off the bone. Jamaican Pot's brown stew chicken made the MT year-end list last year, and we're hoping there's more brown stew chicken to put on 2020's year-end list. —Tom Perkins
