| Jerk Chicken Picture This was done in an oven |
1 whole chicken quartered (or cut into your preferred sizes)
A coal or gas grill
2 tablespoons vinegar or lime juice
Paper towel
6 cups water
4 table spoons dry jerk spice
Or
6 tablespoons wet jerk spice
¼ teaspoon salt
Method:
After dissecting your chicken rinse chicken in water and vinegar
solution then pat dry with paper towel. Add seasoning to chicken and use your
hands to rub seasoning into each piece of chicken until all pieces are coated. Marinate chicken while you fire up your
grill.
When grill is very hot you can place your chicken on.
If using a gas grill leave the flames on medium low. If
using coal make sure that you are not using too many coals to burn the chicken.
Keep the lid on the gill covered so that the moisture remains in the chicken.
If your coals are too hot, consider using a spray bottle to mist the coals to cool them down, you can also use beer for this by adding the beer to the spray bottle. The smoke from the beer
and the coals give a great flavour.
Keep turning your chicken until all sides have a nice dark
colour. You will know when your chicken is done when a fork is inserted and the
juices run clear or as there is no fluid at all. Enjoy.
Make your own jerk seasoning
Yay thank you so much for posting all of these recipes! My mom is from Jamaica but she moved to the US when she was 16 so she never really got to learn how to cook a lot of Jamaican dishes. I've always wanted to try more Jamaican food (I've had Ackee and sailfish but that's about it) my mom and I are going to learn how to cook Jamaican food together! :D I'm so excited because ALL my mom ever cooks is chicken and rice.
