JERK CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the collard greens: Peel off collard green leaves from stems (leave in big pieces; we do not dice our collard greens).
• Place onions in a pot with butter over medium heat. Add celery, carrots and peppers.
• Cut bacon strips into 3 sections and add to the pot. Add black pepper. Saute all together-do NOT crisp bacon, but allow browning on the bottom of the pot, stirring every now and then and scraping the bottom of the pot. Add 1 cup water, deglazing bottom of the pot.
• Add paprika and saute more. The pot will start to dry out; add water as needed, making sure that the pot stays moist and wet but being careful not to overwater. Add garlic and collard greens along with 3 cups water.
• Add garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder and House Seasoning and continue to saute, adding water as needed, until the collard greens become soft. Add potatoes and fill pot with hot water until everything is barely submerged. Add ham base. Stir. Cover and cook, stirring every 30 minutes and adding water as needed to keep everything submerged, for 3 hours.
• For the mashed potatoes: Place potatoes in a pot. Pour hot water over the top until potatoes are submerged. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and put potatoes to the side.
• Add butter and garlic to the hot pot. Add potatoes, sour cream, whipping cream and 3-cheese mixture, along with House Seasoning. Mash all ingredients together.
• For the jerk seasoning: Mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle, cumin, salt, brown sugar, cayenne, ginger, nutmeg, black pepper, seasoning blend and blackening seasoning in a bowl.
• For the jerk chicken: Stir the salt and cayenne into the buttermilk, then add the chicken. Marinate, refrigerated, for at least 16 but no more than 24 hours.
• Take out chicken and cut each piece in half at an angle. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with jerk seasoning.
• Add 1 tablespoon butter to a hot pan. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Add chicken and cook both sides until chicken is almost done. Add green peppers and onions, pork belly, House Seasoning, a pinch jerk seasoning and a little more butter.
• Add a touch of water while shaking the pan. Cook until pork belly, peppers, and onions are translucent and the chicken is cooked through. Add parsley and roasted red peppers for decoration. Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.
• Mix the garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, onion powder, seasoned salt and cayenne in a bowl.

JERK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the brine: Combine 2 tablespoons salt, the granulated sugar, allspice, chile pepper, garlic, ginger and 1 quart water in a large pot and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the salt and sugar have dissolved, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the brine over about 1/2 cup ice in a large bowl and let cool to room temperature. Add the chicken to the brine, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Make the jerk paste marinade: Stir together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, tamarind paste, scallions, thyme, garlic, ginger, allspice, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf and chile pepper in a medium bowl; season with a pinch of salt. Set aside 5 tablespoons of the marinade to use for the barbecue sauce.
• Remove the chicken from the brine; discard the brine. Pat the chicken dry, then toss to coat with the remaining jerk paste marinade, slightly massaging it into the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Make the jerk barbecue sauce: Heat the canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and the reserved 5 tablespoons jerk paste marinade; simmer until the onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the ketchup and brown sugar and simmer over low heat until the sauce is deep red and caramelized, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth.
• Cook the chicken: Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron grill pan over medium heat until very hot, about 10 minutes, then add some oil to the pan. Working in batches, remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade), place the chicken on the grill pan skin-side down and cook until well charred, flipping halfway through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with the reserved marinade. Repeat to cook the remaining chicken. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the chicken is tender but not falling off the bone, about 45 minutes. Turn the broiler on for the last minute and broil until the skin crisps.
• Remove the chicken from the oven, brush with some of the barbecue sauce and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Blend chives, chiles, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, rum, salt, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves in a blender until smooth. Place chicken in a large bowl and pour jerk marinade over. Turn thighs and drumsticks several times to coat. Cover and chill, turning chicken pieces once, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Remove chicken from marinade, wiping off any excess, and let come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Discard marinade.
• Prepare grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two-thirds of coals on one half of grill and scatter remaining coals over other side; for a gas grill, set one burner to high heat and the remaining burners to medium-low heat). Lightly brush grate with oil. Arrange chicken drumsticks and thighs, skin side down, on grate over hottest part of grill and grill, turning halfway through, until lightly charred, 5-10 minutes. Move chicken to cooler part of grill and continue to grill, turning several times, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 20-25 minutes longer.
• Transfer chicken to a platter and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
