Rum Infused Jerk Sauce Recipes

ENA'S SIGNATURE SPICY JERK CHICKEN AND JERK SAUCE

Steps:

• Lightly sprinkle the chicken with salt and coat liberally with the jerk rub. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of jerk marinade (or more to intensify the heat). Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours and up to 48 hours.
• Preheat a grill to 450 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the chicken on the grill, skin-side up, and cover the grill. Cook until the skin is rosy brown and crisp, about 25 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a roasting pan, skin-side up, and pour over a cup of Jerk Sauce. (Do not cover the chicken with sauce; just add enough to create some steam.) Cover the pan with parchment and foil and bake until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Cut the chicken legs off the thighs and cut the thighs in half. Place the chicken on a plate and add Jerk Sauce.
• Add the port, soy sauce, liquid smoke, browning sauce, vinegar and 2 cups water to a stockpot; bring to a boil. Add the adobo powder, jerk rub, poultry seasoning, jerk marinade and breadcrumbs. Add the carrots, garlic, onions, thyme and peppers. Boil over high heat until the vegetables are fully cooked and the wet marinade has dissolved into the sauce, 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 30 minutes.

RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix together the sugar and cornstarch, and stir into the butter. Pour in milk, and cook stirring frequently until the mixture begins to boil. Continue cooking until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in rum. Serve warm.

HOT BUTTERED RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in 1 1/2-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Boil 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Serve warm. Store covered in refrigerator.

RUM SAUCE FOR ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Melt butter. Add flour and boil for a while. Add cream or milk, rum and brown sugar.
• Simmer and serve warm over vanilla ice cream.

JERK WINGS WITH RUM-BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Whisk together the rum, ancho powder, chile de arbol, brown sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until reduced by half. Remove from the heat, and then add butter.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a large high-sided pan until it reaches 365 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Stir together the coriander, ginger, sugar, onion and garlic powders, salt, habanero powder, black pepper, thyme, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves in a large bowl. Season the wings with salt and pepper and toss them in the jerk rub. Add the wings, in batches, to the oil and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and put them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain for a few minutes, and then transfer the wings to a large bowl.
• Add the brown sugar-rum glaze and chopped cilantro and toss to coat each wing. Serve with the Chimichurri Sauce.
• Combine the cilantro, parsley, mint, garlic, and vinegar in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the oil through the feed tube until smooth. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and pulse a few times until combined.

JAMAICAN JERK SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Add the allspice berries, brown sugar, scallions, garlic cloves, Scotch bonnet peppers, soy sauce, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to a food processor or a blender.
• Process until smooth.
• Use to marinate the meat of your choice.

JERK CHICKEN SKEWER WITH JERK SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into 20 thin strips, about the size of your small finger. Thread onto 1end of each skewer and place into a bowl until marinade is ready. Keep the bamboo handles all on 1 side so as not to touch the marinade when it is added.
• In a food processor, place the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
• Pour 1/2 the marinade over the chicken only, trying not to touch the skewers. Make sure to coat the chicken entirely. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Place the remainder of the marinade into a small saucepan and add:
• Place over medium heat until thickened and the tomato has broken down, about 30 minutes. Puree, if desired for a smoother consistency. Let cool and serve with the chicken skewers when they are ready.
• To finish, place the chicken end of the skewers over a hot, well-oiled grill and cook about 3 minutes per side. Time might vary depending on how hot the grill is or how thick the chicken is. If a grill is not available, you can place under a broiler for about the same time. Serve with the jerk sauce.
