JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN AND SEASONING
I was fortunate to receive an old family recipe from a business associate who is from Jamaica for jerk seasoning. We like it so much that I make 2# batches at a time. For those of you not familiar with Jerk, it is a spicy, sweet, tangy and HOT seasoning for grilled meat, pork and chicken particularly. This spice blend recipe will make enough for several batches, but remember, the idea is to put as much on the meat as you can get to stick.

Steps:
- Combine all but chicken, lime juice and oil in mixing bowl and whisk to mix well.
- Whisk together lime juice and olive oil.
- Rub chicken well with lime/oil mix. Do not marinate.
- Coat chicken with dry seasoning/spice mixture. The idea here is to get as much as possible to stick to the chicken. We store our seasoning in a leftover spice container with large sprinkle holes and use that to season. This is not a rub, so it should not be applied in rub fashion.
- Refrigerate 1-3 hours, then remove from refrigerator and allow to come to near room temperature.
- Prepare grill for direct/indirect grilling.
- Grill chicken over hot direct fire. Don't worry about the black, it's supposed to be there. In fact, 30-40% of the skin should end up black, but it will not be bitter.
- Once seared, remove to the indirect heat area of the grill and cook to 165* internal temperature.
- One quick dance across the direct heat before serving will help crisp it a bit.
- Serve with plenty of napkins.

It is baked at 225 for 2 hours till the internal temp was at 175. But for you at home I have updated this to be baked at a higher temperature and be prepared in less time.

CHICKEN TACO SEASONING MIX, SCD COMPLIANT
We had a favorite seasoning from Penzeys, called Arizona Dreaming, that was great for seasoning chicken for chicken tacos, or sprinkling onto any Mexican or Southwest style dish. My kid's new medical Specific Carbohydrate Diet for IBD, does not allow some of the ingredients in it, so I went about coming up with an SCD...

Steps:
- 1. Mix together & store in an airtight glass container. Great on grilled chicken, left over rotisserie chicken, shredded chicken, or ground chicken/turkey, or even black beans, for tacos. Use as much as tastes right. Add salt to taste, if desired. Also great sprinkled on just about any Mexican style dish that needs a bit of zing. Guacamole, in a burrito, or quesadilla, etc.
- 2. Note: Citric Acid is the type of acid in citrus fruit, that comes in little crystals like salt. It is sometimes called sour salt, because it looks like salt, though it contains no salt. It is one way to increase flavor without adding salt, if you are on a low sodium diet. You can buy it easily online, or sometimes locally. It makes this spice mix a convenient time saver. But you can always squeeze fresh lime juice into whatever you are making, instead, if you don't mind the extra liquid.
