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)

Steps:

• Smash the allspice as fine as possible using a mortar and pestle. Put in a food processor and add the seasoning salt, peppers, green onions, thyme and 1/2 cup water. Blend to the consistency of lumpy oatmeal and pour into a bowl.
• Rub the chicken with the jerk seasoning and stuff the jerk seasoning between the skin and the meat. Place the chicken pieces into a storage pan and let marinade overnight (at least 12 hours).
• Remove the excess seasoning from the chicken. Heat the grill to high heat (about 350 degrees F) and then place the chicken meat-side down first as to not let the chicken burn too quickly. Flip the chicken every 5 to 7 minutes until the skin has a nice brown color with grill marks, and then every 7 to 10 minutes on lower heat until cooked, around 40 minutes total or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
• Chop each quarter into 4 to 5 pieces to get the real Jamaican jerk experience.
