In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs with all-purpose seasoning, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, onion, spring onions, green pepper, garlic, scotch bonnet (if using), and thyme. Mix until the chicken is coated. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Remove onions, peppers, and garlic from the chicken and set aside.
