Jerk Chicken

Ingredients

  • 8 Drumsticks Chicken
  • 4 Cloves Garlic (peeled)
  • 5 Green onion
  • 3 Habanero/Rodo (you can use more)
  • 1 Tablespoon Allspice ginger, thyme, low sodium soy sauce (each)
  • 1 Teaspoon nutmeg cinnamon powder, ginger, and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (each)
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice (optional)
  • ¼ Cup Thyme
  • 1 Small onion
  • Seasoning powder/cube
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Clean the chicken, pour the lemon juice over it, season with onion & garlic powder(optional) salt and seasoning powder(optional) you can replace it with black pepper, mix and set aside. I recommend you slashed the chicken once if you’re not marinating overnight to allow the seasoning to get penetrate but it’s totally optional.

  2. Place all the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor but oil. Blend all the ingredients together and pour about ¾ of it over the chicken, wear a glove or use a spoon and mix. Marinade for at least 2 hours I usually do overnight but if you don’t have enough time to wait make sure you marinate for at least 2 hours.

  3. You can use a grill or an oven to cook the chicken. If you’re using an oven preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, line a baking sheet and cook for about 45 minutes or until the juice runs clear. Note that the chicken size and quantity will determine the cooking time.

  5. Turn the chicken around while grilling but make sure you allow it to cook for about 3 minutes before you start flipping to avoid sticking to the grill. While grilling you can baste the chicken with the leftover sauce.
