JERK CHICKEN



Jerk Chicken image

Done right, jerk chicken is one of the great barbecue traditions of the world, up there with Texas brisket and Chinese char siu. It is Jamaica to the bone, aromatic and smoky, sweet but insistently hot. All of its traditional ingredients grow in the island's lush green interior: fresh ginger, thyme and scallions; Scotch bonnet peppers; and the sweet wood of the allspice tree, which burns to a fragrant smoke. "It's not a sauce, it's a procedure," Jerome Williams, a Jamaican-born Brooklyn resident, told The Times in 2008 on a Sunday in Prospect Park, where families arrive as early as 6 a.m. for lakeside grilling spots, a few of which are actually authorized by the parks department. "It has to be hot, but it cannot only be hot, or you get no joy from it." This recipe delivers that joy.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 3 1/2- to 4-pound chickens, quartered, or 8 whole legs, or 5 to 6 pounds bone-in, skin-on thighs
1 large bunch scallions (about 8), white and green parts
2 shallots, peeled and halved
4 to 6 Scotch bonnet chili peppers, stems removed, or habaneros
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tablespoon dried
2 tablespoons ground allspice, more for sprinkling
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon salt, more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon black pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white or apple cider vinegar
Freshly squeezed juice of 2 limes

Steps:

  • At least 1 day before cooking, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Combine remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and grind to a coarse paste. Slather all over chicken, including under skin. Refrigerate 12 to 36 hours. Bring to room temperature before cooking and lightly sprinkle with more salt and ground allspice.
  • Prepare a charcoal grill: Clean and oil grates, and preheat to medium heat using one chimney of charcoal. The temperature can start as high as 300 degrees and go as low as 250. For best results, coals should be at least 12 inches away from chicken. If necessary, push coals to one side of grill to create indirect heat. Add two large handfuls of soaked pimento (allspice) wood sticks and chips (see note) or other aromatic wood chips to coals, then close grill. When thick white smoke billows from grill, place chicken on grate, skin side up, and cover. Let cook undisturbed for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Uncover grill. Chicken will be golden and mahogany in places. Chicken thighs may already be cooked through. For other cuts, turn chicken over and add more wood chips, and charcoal if needed. Cover and continue cooking, checking and turning every 10 minutes. Jerk chicken is done when skin is burnished brown and chicken juices are completely clear, with no pink near the bone. For large pieces, this can take up to an hour. Serve hot or warm, with rice and beans.

Provided by Chefiebig

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon dried ground thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons dried ground sage
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 scotch bonnet peppers or 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped finely
1 large onion, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
5 lbs skinless chicken pieces (on the bone)

Steps:

  • In a large casserole with a lid, combine all ingredients except chicken.
  • Add chicken, stirring to coat well.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour up to 24 hours.
  • First drain, then Bake@ 350 for one hour OR drain and barbecue.
  • Serve with steamed white rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is key to infusing the chicken with flavor. Use a combination of spices, herbs, and liquids to create a marinade that suits your taste.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours, or overnight: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Cook the chicken over low heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
