Provided by Becky Hardin

Categories     Main Course

Time 8h25m

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 green onions (roughly chopped)
1/2 onion (roughly chopped)
2 Scotch bonnet or habanero peppers*
1 small knob fresh ginger (peeled)
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 tablespoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or any vinegar)
Juice of 1 lime
2 pounds chicken breasts or thighs
2 cups diced pineapple (fresh is best but any will do)
1 jalapeno (diced)
1/4 red onion (finely diced)
juice from one lime
2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
pinch salt

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a food processor or blender. Pulse/blend until the mixture is mostly smooth. Place the chicken in a large plastic bag or bowl and pour in the marinade. Toss chicken in the marinade until well-coated. Cover the bowl or seal the bag. Place in the refrigerator to marinate at least 1 hour or up to overnight, which will bring out the best flavor.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 10-15 minutes total, flipping halfway through.
  • Stir together all ingredients for the pineapple salsa. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve. Spoon over chicken and enjoy.

Time 3h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried minced garlic
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
¼ cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Make the jerk rub by combining the salt, allspice, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic, nutmeg, pepper, ginger, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and thyme. Toss the chicken pieces with the spice mixture, then cover, and marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour the vegetable oil into a 9x13 inch baking dish.

JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN



Jamaican jerk chicken image

Make your own jerk seasoning to use as a marinade for chicken. Scotch bonnet peppers and spices bring heat and plenty of flavour

Provided by Delroy Dixon

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 chicken thighs
2 chicken legs
2-3 tsp crushed/powered allspice (pimento)
1 tsp fine salt
4 spring onions, trimmed
1 medium white onion
1- 2 Scotch bonnet peppers
6-8 garlic cloves
2-3 tbsp picked thyme leaves
240ml lime juice or orange or pineapple juice
60ml white or malt vinegar
½ tsp mixed spice
1-2 tbsp dark sugar

Steps:

  • Whizz all the ingredients for the marinade in a blender to form a thick paste. It shouldn't be too runny, similar to the consistency of sweet chilli sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three weeks.
  • Slit the chicken skin with a sharp knife, then put into a container. Pour over the jerk marinade, making sure the chicken is completely covered. You may not need all the marinade. Cover the chicken and place in the fridge for at least 4 hrs, but ideally 24 hrs.
  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the chicken in an ovenproof dish, cover with foil and cook for 30-45 mins. Remove the foil and baste the chicken with the juices from the dish, then cook for a further 10 mins. The skin should start to crisp up. Check the meat is cooked by cutting into the deepest part of the chicken. If the juices run out red, return to the oven for 10 mins more, or until the juices run clear. Serve with rice & peas or any of your favourite side dishes.

  • Combine all the spices, brown sugar, and oil in a small bowl. Preheat a skillet or grill to high heat.
  • Rub the spice mixture over the chicken breasts (I had the best luck doing this with my hands). You can layer the spice mixture on the chicken as thick or thin as you like – there should be enough to cover about 4 large chicken breasts or 1 1/2 lbs. Place the spice-rubbed chicken breasts on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, until the exterior is very deep, dark brown and the inside is no longer pink.

  • Step 1: Prepare Marinade Place the ingredients (excluding the chicken of course) in a food processor and process to a coarse paste.
  • Step 2: Apply the marinade Place the chicken quarters into a large bowl and pour over the marinade. Massage the marinade into the meat, ensuring that it gets under the skin of the chicken by pulling the skin away from the meat. Cover the bowl and leave it to marinate in the fridge for at least 6 to 12 hours.
  • Step 3: Grill time Remove the marinated meat from the fridge an hour before cooking, so it has time to come up to room temperature. Otherwise, it will take much longer to cook. Light grill and grill the chicken over a medium-hot fire for approximately 35 minutes, turning occasionally, until well browned and cooked through. (Covering the grill produces a smokier flavor)
  • Step 4: Enjoy your Jamaican jerk chicken Remove the chicken from the grill and place on platter and serve. Jamaican jerk chicken goes well with baked sweet potato, Jamaican festivals, fried breadfruit, fried bammy, or French fries.
