THE REAL JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN - NEARLY TOO HOT TO HANDLE!



The Real Jamaican Jerk Chicken - Nearly Too Hot to Handle! image

A classic Jamaican Jerk Chicken recipe, sent to me by a friend in Kingston, Jamaica! You can adjust the "heat" to your own requirements - and don't forget the Rum Punch! Try to use fresh limes wherever possible.....it makes such a difference to the taste. Edited to say: In response to a recent review, please note that this IS a GENUINE jerk recipe from a very good friend who lives in Jamaica - whom I have visited many times! However, this is NOT a "commercial" flavoured jerk seasoning mix. It is very spicy and may not suit those of you who dislike strong spices, such as allspice and nutmeg, which are quite strong! Feel free to adjust these seasonings if you wish - the taste may be more to your liking, if not 100% authentic! Thanks! :-)

AUTHENTIC JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN



Authentic Jamaican Jerk Chicken image

Jerk used to refer to the slow-cook, smoking method used for preparing meat in Caribbean cuisine, but in modern days refers to the spices used to prepare the meat before cooking.

Provided by John Mitzewich

Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 6h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 onion, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup chopped scallion
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 habanero or Scotch bonnet (very hot), or jalapeno (milder), seeded, finely chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 whole chicken , cut in sections

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Combine all ingredients (except chicken) in a food processor , and process until a smooth puree forms.
  • Put chicken in a large bowl and pour marinade over. Stir chicken pieces to coat completely; cover and marinate at least 6 hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Prepare a gas or charcoal grill on medium heat (350 F to 375 F) for direct/indirect grilling. Remove chicken from jerk marinade. Place chicken skin-side down on the direct side of the grill. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until the skin is charred and crisp, controlling any flare-ups on the grill. Turn the chicken over and move to the indirect side. Close the lid, and cook an additional 10 to 20 minutes, removing pieces as they become done.

JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN



Jamaican Jerk Chicken image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 12h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 to 8 whole allspice
3 tablespoons seasoning salt, such as Lawry's
1 to 2 Scotch Bonnet peppers, quartered
1 bundle green onions, cut into 1-inch sections
1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves coarsely chopped
1 whole chicken, cleaned and quartered

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.

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.
