ABOUT Jerk Chicken RECIPE

A fragrant grilled and easy chicken recipe from Jamaica !!

Ingredients Serving: 2

2 chicken breasts
5-6 shallots
2-3 spring onions ( use the whites )
1/2 inch ginger
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp peppercorns
1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp honey
3-4 cloves
1 inch cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice powder
1 green chilli (preferably hot)
1 tsp light soy sauce
half of a lemon
1 tsp canola oil
Salt to taste

Instructions

Take all the ingredients ( except chicken ) in a mixer jar. Pulverize to get a fine paste
Clean the chicken and put little cuts in the skin. Rub the spice paste all over the chicken preferably with your hands (wear gloves though).
Pre-heat a oven to 250 degrees (Celcius). Put the chicken on a griller and place it in the middle rack of the oven with both the top and bottom heating elements switched on.
Cook for 20-25 minutes or till it is done. Take care to regulate/lower heat because the marinade tends to burn easily as it contains sugar/honey.
Serve hot with some lettuce, sliced carrots and blanched tender beans.
