- 1 1/2 kg Chicken
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 3 tbsp Grated onion
- 3 cloves' worth Grated garlic
- 1/2 lemons' worth Lemon juice
- 75 grams Jerk chicken seasoning
- I bought the seasoning at a store that sells imported foods.
- Cut off the white fatty part of the chicken thighs and leave them whole.
- Butterfly the chicken breasts.
- Put both parts in a plastic bag, add the honey and rub it in.
- Next, rub in the lemon juice, onion and garlic.
- When it's thoroughly coated, add the seasoning.
- Rub it some more!
- Let it chill in the fridge from anywhere from one hour to ovenight.
- Then, all you need to do is barbecue it, or cook it in a frying pan, in the oven, or on a .
- You can also put the bag of chicken in the freezer after coating it with the seasoning, and defrost it in time to barbecue.
- It'll be spicy!
- In Jamaica they use a steel drum made into a kind of grill and steam-cook the chicken.
- How about trying the following way of cooking it, to simulate the real thing?
- Soak 1 cup of smoke chips (I used hickory chips) in water for 30 minutes.
- Drain the smoke chips and wrap them up in a double layer of aluminum foil.
- Leave a hole in the top for steam to escape.
- Put the package of smoke chips on top of the hot charcoal.
- Lay the chicken skin-side down on the grill.
- Steam and smoke will rise up as the charcoal burns.
- Cover with a lid, if your barbecue has one.
- If it doesn't have a lid, cover it with foil.
- It's done.
- Cutting it up with kitchen scissors seems easiest.
- Oh my word...it's sooo good!
- I cooked this one in a frying pan, skin-side down and covered it with a lid halfway through.
