GRILLED JERK CHICKEN



Grilled Jerk Chicken image

Spicy Caribbean-style jerk chicken cooked slowly on a warm grill reminds me of my trips to the islands as a sailor. Good main. A little time consuming putting the marinade together but well worth it. Don't worry if you don't have all the ingredients, use what you have. You can double the dry ingredients and save for your next dinner party.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bunch chives, cut into 1-inch pieces
4-8 Scotch bonnet chiles or habanero chiles
5 garlic cloves, crushed
3/4 cup malt vinegar
3/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons Jamaican rum
2 tablespoons Diamond Crystal or 1 tablespoon Morton kosher salt
2 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
8 pieces skin-on, bone-in chicken legs (about 6 pounds total), drumsticks and thighs separated, patted dry
Vegetable oil (for grill)

Steps:

  • Blend chives, chiles, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, rum, salt, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves in a blender until smooth. Place chicken in a large bowl and pour jerk marinade over. Turn thighs and drumsticks several times to coat. Cover and chill, turning chicken pieces once, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Remove chicken from marinade, wiping off any excess, and let come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Discard marinade.
  • Prepare grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two-thirds of coals on one half of grill and scatter remaining coals over other side; for a gas grill, set one burner to high heat and the remaining burners to medium-low heat). Lightly brush grate with oil. Arrange chicken drumsticks and thighs, skin side down, on grate over hottest part of grill and grill, turning halfway through, until lightly charred, 5-10 minutes. Move chicken to cooler part of grill and continue to grill, turning several times, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 20-25 minutes longer.
  • Transfer chicken to a platter and let rest 10 minutes before serving.

How to Make Grilled Jerk Chicken

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For jerk marinade:
3 scallions, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
4 to 5 fresh Scotch bonnet or habanero chile, stemmed and seeded
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons ground allspice
2 teaspoons black pepper
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For chicken:
4 chicken breast halves with skin and bones (3 pounds), halved crosswise
2 1/2 to 3 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks
Accompaniment: papaya salsa

Steps:

  • Make marinade:
  • Blend all marinade ingredients in a blender until smooth.
  • Marinate and grill chicken:
  • Divide chicken pieces and marinade between 2 sealable plastic bags. Seal bags, pressing out excess air, then turn bags over several times to distribute marinade. Put bags of chicken in a shallow pan and marinate, chilled, turning once or twice, 1 day.
  • Let chicken stand at room temperature 1 hour before cooking.
  • To cook chicken using a charcoal grill:
  • Open vents on bottom of grill and on lid. Light a large chimney of charcoal briquettes (about 100) and pour them evenly over 1 side of bottom rack (you will have a double or triple layer of charcoal).
  • When charcoal turns grayish white and you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds, sear chicken in batches on lightly oiled rack over coals until well browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per batch. Move chicken as seared to side of grill with no coals underneath, then cook, covered with lid, until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes more.
  • To cook chicken using a gas grill:
  • Preheat burners on high, then adjust heat to moderate. Cook chicken until well browned on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust heat to low and cook chicken, covered with lid, until cooked through, about 25 minutes more.
  • Serve chicken with salsa.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is key to giving jerk chicken its signature flavor. Be sure to use a blend of spices that includes allspice, thyme, scallions, Scotch bonnet peppers, garlic, and ginger. You can also add other spices to taste, such as cumin, coriander, and paprika.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Grill the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the chicken while keeping the inside juicy. Be sure to turn the chicken frequently so that it cooks evenly.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Jerk chicken is delicious served with rice and peas, grilled vegetables, or coleslaw. You can also use it in tacos, burritos, or sandwiches.

Conclusion:

Grilled jerk chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
