Jamaican Jerk Chicken
- 1 or 2 whole chickens, sectioned and with each piece containing a few 1/2 inch deep slashes
- 1 chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 seeded and finely chopped habanero or Scotch bonnet pepper for a very hot flavor or a jalapeno pepper for a milder spice (OPTIONAL)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon WalkersWood Jerk Seasoning, for spicer flavor use 1 - 2 more tablespoons. (OPTIONAL)
- Juice of one lime
- 1 bottle of Bennets Chili Sauce
- Combine all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a food processor and blend into a smooth puree to form the jerk marinade.
- Place the sectioned chicken in a large bowl and cover each piece completely with the marinade. A Ziplock gallon bag will work also.
- Cover the chicken and marinate for at least six hours. Leave overnight for best results.
- When the chicken is fully marinated, remove it and grill it over a hot grill until the chicken is fully cooked. Bast with Bennett's Chili Sauce.
- If one does not have a grill, the chicken can also be baked in a 425u0b0 oven until it is fully cooked. Make sure to coat chicken with Bennett's Chili Sauce.
- For the perfect meal, pair this jerk chicken with a cold, crunchy coleslaw or salad and Jamaican rice. Make sure to have plenty of cold drinks on hand as this recipe is spicy. For a less spicy version, leave the hot pepper and WalkersWood out all together. This marinade can also be used with pork if desired
