Best Bahamian Jerk Chicken Recipes

BAHAMIAN JERK CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Sauce: Add crushed pineapple, garlic, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and ⅔ cup water to a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. In a small bowl whisk together corn starch and cold water until dissolved. Add to boiling sauce and stir. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer while you prepare the chicken.
• 2. Chicken: Sprinkle Jamaican jerk seasoning over both sides of each chicken breast and use your fingers to rub the seasoning into the chicken. Drizzle a large pan or skillet with oil over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through. Serve with fresh salad or over rice with the pineapple sauce and chopped cilantro. For a spicy kick, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.

BAHAMIAN CHICKEN SOUSE

Steps:

• Toss the chicken wings with 3 tablespoons lime juice and the seasoned salt. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and green pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened and begun to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the potatoes, carrots, red pepper flakes, allspice, bay leaves, marinated chicken, lime juice, and water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and continue simmering until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone, and the vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
