JAMAICAN STYLE JERK CHICKEN RECIPE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Special equipment: a meat thermometer Put the olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, allspice, sugar, thyme, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic, scallions, jalapenos and ginger in a food processor and blend until smooth. Put the chicken into resealable bags and evenly distribute the marinade among the bags. Seal tightly, thoroughly coat the chicken in the marinade and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 30 minutes but preferably overnight. NOTE: I recommend at least hours to allow for the spices to flavor the chicken. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. NOTE: We used our Weber grill to prepare this chicken, and the flavor was amazing! Grill the chicken skin-side down on direct heat, turning once halfway through, until both sides are browned, 10 to 15 minutes. NOTE: Watch closely, as there is sugar in the marinade and the chicken can burn very quickly. Transfer the chicken pieces to indirect heat and grill until a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes more. We served this with mashed banana plantains and a black bean and roasted sweet potato salad. Excellent!

JERK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Wash chicken with Lime, or you can substitute with lemon juice.
• Remove all excess fat and dry with paper towels. Try to remove as much water from the chicken as possible.
• You are now ready to prepare your Jerk Sauce (Marinade) to add to your chicken.
• If you are not up to making your own marinade you can use a store bought brand of jerk seasoning like Grace Jerk seasoning.
• Add Olive oil to a skillet under a medium flame.
• Add your garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper, and allow to saute for about 4 minutes.
• Now you can add your brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice,
• Stir mixture in skillet until it becomes pasty (approx 5 minutes)
• You can now remove contents from skillet and allow it to cool for about 20 minutes.
• Add the mixture to a food processor, add your thyme, ginger, white pepper, scallions, onion, soy sauce, and beef bouillon and blend for about 30 seconds. (Make sure your setting is set to pulse).
• You can add additional Scotch Bonnet Pepper(s) to suit your taste.
• Rub your chicken with your marinade (make sure you drench it to ensure maximum flavor).
• You can now place your chicken in the refrigerator in a ziplock bag or covered bowl for a few hours (I prefer to do it overnight).
• Place your chicken in a baking pan lined with aluminum foil. You can add a wire before placing the chicken in the baking pan so excess grease will drip down into the pan.
• Bake chicken for approximately 20 minutes until it is crisp and brown.
• You can then flip your chicken parts in your baking pan to do the other side. and let it bake an additional 20 minutes.
• You can use the leftover marinade, and add it to your excess grease from the baking pan and saute for about 10 minutes. (This makes for a delicious gravy and or dipping sauce)
