I promise not to invite anyone over for authentic callaloo.....

I'm really looking forward to trying DJKillaQueen's recipe, but after reviewing the list of ingredients sadly it will have to wait a couple of weeks (when I will have hopefully squeezed myself into a figure-hugging dress at my friend's wedding).


After that point, I'm going to cook myself up a chicken and eat it until I twitch :))

Jerk Chicken Recipe

Print Options


* Print (no photos)

* Print (with photos)


Ingredients


1/2 cup malt vinegar (or white vinegar)

2 Tbsp dark rum

2 Scotch bonnet peppers (or habaneros), with seeds, chopped

1 red onion, chopped

4 green onion tops, chopped

1 Tbsp dried thyme or 2 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

4 teaspoons ground allspice

4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

4 teaspoons ground nutmeg

4 teaspoons ground ginger

2 teaspoons molasses


1 (5 or 6 pound) roasting chicken, cut in half, lengthwise

1/2 cup lime juice

Salt and pepper


Safety note. Scotch Bonnet and Habanero chile peppers are very hot and can cause extreme pain if they come in contact with your eyes. We strongly recommend wearing protective gloves while handling the chilies and the jerk paste.

Method


1 Put vinegar, rum, hot peppers, onion, green onion tops, thyme, olive oil, salt, pepper, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and molasses into a blender. Pulse until mostly smooth.

2 Place chicken in a large freezer bag, or in a large roasting pan or baking dish. Pour lime juice over the chicken and coat well. Add the jerk paste to the chicken pieces and coat well. Seal the bag or cover the chicken in the pan with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.


3 When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove chicken from the marinade bag or pan. Put the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to use as a basting sauce for the chicken. If you want you can reserve a little of the marinade (once boiled for 10 minutes since it has been in contact with raw chicken) to serve with the chicken or to mix with some ketchup and a dash of soy sauce for a serving sauce.

4a Grilling Method

Preheat grill to medium high. Sprinkle chicken halves with salt and pepper. Place chicken halves, skin side down on the grill grates. Cover. Cook for approximately one hour, keeping the internal grill temperature between 350?F and 400?F, turning the chickens occasionally and basting with marinade, until the chicken halves are cooked through. The chicken is done when the juices run clear (not pink) when a knife tip is inserted into both the chicken breast and thigh, about 165-170?F for the breast and 180-185?F for the thigh. Transfer chicken to platter. Tent loosely with foil to keep warm and let stand 15 minutes.


4b Oven Method

Preheat oven to 350?F. Place chicken halves in a rimmed baking pan, skin side up. Roast until chicken halves are cooked through, about 50-60 minutes. The chicken is done when the juices run clear (not pink) when a knife tip is inserted into both the chicken breast and thigh, about 165-170?F for the breast and 180-185?F for the thigh. Transfer chicken to platter. Tent loosely with foil to keep warm and let stand 15 minutes.


Cut chicken into pieces. Serve with black beans and rice.


Serves 6 to 8.

Will you stop that DJKQ...I haven't stopped twitching all day...and it has nowt to do with raw chicken...


*grabs belly as doubled up laughing*

Whichever recipe you try out, don't bother with Ramsay's one. It was very disappointing. Blue Mountain Cafe serves a nice jerk chicken, I've tried approaching the chef when he darts out of the kitchen to find out his secret ingredient but am yet to master his culinary skills.. :(

Before:


It's been marinating since last night, I think we made a mistake in adding the honey last night after putting on the marinade (it just 'washed' the jerk spice off and we had to pat it all back on).


Not sure if this is how it's supposed to look...


... now checking out rice 'n' peas recipes.

The finished product. Again, not sure if it's supposed to look like this, but all I know is it was DELICIOUS, and the rice and peas went down a treat as well. Thanks everyone for the help!


I'm going to have the leftovers with noodles tomorrow.


Now, just need to find out how to remove the burnt on sugar from my roasting dish....

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
