Jerk Chicken
- 1 lb. chicken breasts without skin
- 1 tsp. whole cloves
- 1 tsp. peppercorns
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 lg. Spanish onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1 tbsp. chopped jalapeno
- 1/2 tsp. ground allspice
- 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp. thyme
- 1/4 tsp. white pepper
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- First, prepare the marinade.
- Crush whole cloves and peppercorns in a spice grinder or coffee grinder.
- (Blender might work, too).
- Combine with all other ingredients, except chicken in a blender or food processor.
- Blend until the marinade is thick and smooth, with no chunks in it.
- Place the chicken in a non-metal container.
- A glass bowl is good; so are ziplock bags.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken.
- Marinate, refrigerated, for 8 hours or overnight.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade.
- Discard the marinade.
- Cook the chicken on a grill 6 minutes on each side, or until there is no trace of pink inside.
- Or, cook in a lightly-oiled cast iron pan over high heat.
- (You could broil it in the oven, too.)
- Slice into strips before serving, if you wish.
