JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN AND SEASONING



Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Seasoning image

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.

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons ground thyme
1 tablespoon ground rosemary
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground scotch bonnet peppers (habanero)
12 bay leaves (finely crumbled)
1/3 cup sugar
3 lbs chicken (pieces, wings, halves, whatever)
1 lime, juice of
1/4 cup olive oil

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.

CHICKEN TACO SEASONING MIX, SCD COMPLIANT



Chicken Taco Seasoning Mix, SCD compliant image

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...

Provided by C C

Categories     Seasoning Mixes

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Tbsp ground ancho chili
2 Tbsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 Tbsp oregano
1 Tbsp ground black pepper
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp marjoram
1 Tbsp ground coriander seed
1 Tbsp granulated onion
1 Tbsp granulated garlic
6 laurel bay leaves, crumbled (nice if you can find mexican bay leaves)
2 tsp citric acid
1/2 tsp ceylon cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

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.
