Jamaican Jerked Chicken Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Shine / All my dishes 1 year, 6 months ago Ya Mon! Picture yourself sitting on a Caribbean beach, having just picked up this from a street vendor. I like to reduce the marinade into a sauce, adding a little cornstarch to thicken it. I put the sauce on coconut rice with black beans... sinful... More Prep:20m Cook:10m Servings:6	Shine

Ingredients

6 boneless chicken breasts

for the marinade:

1-3 habanero chiles (Scotch bonnet peppers), seeded and chopped – Use fewer if a more mild sause is desired –this is HOT

10 green onions, chopped

1/2 cup chopped onion

4 cloves garlic, chopped

1 3-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped

1/4 cup whole allspice

4 bay leaves, crushed

1/3 cup fresh thyme

1 teaspoon freshly-ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon freshly-ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)

1 tablespoon freshly-ground black pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup White Vinegar

1/4 cup lime juice.

1/2 cup Orange juice

Directions

Seed and finely chop habanero peppers (wear gloves).

Trim chicken of fat.

In a large bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, allspice, bay leaves, cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, pepper, and salt. With a wire whisk, slowly add the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, orange juice, and lime juice.

Add the Scotch Bonnet pepper, onion, green onions, and mix well.

Add the chicken breasts, cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, longer if possible, but NOT overnight.

Cook the breasts on the grill until thoroughly cooked. The marinade can be made into a sauce by reducing it on the stove top and adding about 2 teaspoons of cornstarch mixed in a quarter cup of water. Warning: this sauce sneaks up on you... don't eat too quickly!

I like this served on coconut rice with black beans.

This sounds fabulous. My husband LOVES anything that can be described by using the Scoville scale for heat, so I'll be trying it soon.

I can't think of anything better as I have a case of habanero peppers (long story) that I am chopping and jarring. I love hot and as mbalmr states, my foods are based on the Scoville scale. Thanks Ray, hope the weekend has been good.
