Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon habanero powder
2 teaspoons coarse black pepper
2 teaspoons dry thyme
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cloves
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (8 ounces each)
Canola oil
Kosher salt
Habanero-Mint Glaze, recipe follows
Mango Relish, recipe follows
2 cups red wine vinegar
2 cups white wine vinegar
1 habanero chile
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
Salt
1 large mango, peeled, pitted and finely diced
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeno or serrano chile, stemmed, seeded and finely diced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 to 2 tablespoons honey (depending on the sweetness of the mango)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium. Combine all spice ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Brush chicken on both sides with the oil and season with salt. Rub 1 side of each breast with some of the jerk seasoning. Place the chicken on the grill, rub side down and grill until slightly charred and the rub has formed a crust, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over, brush the top side with some of the Habanero-Mint Glaze and continue cooking until just cooked through, brushing with more of the glaze every few minutes. Remove from the grill to a serving platter, brush with more glaze and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with Mango Relish on the side.
  • Place vinegars and habanero in a medium nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the sugar and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely melted and the mixture has thickened and reduced by about half. *Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender, add the mint and blend until smooth. Season with salt and let the glaze cool to room temperature.
  • *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
  • Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. May be prepared and refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day ahead. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before serving.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH MANGO HABANERO GLAZE



Grilled Chicken With Mango Habanero Glaze image

This recipe was created for the Ready Set Cook #8 contest. It's best to make this delicious sweet and spicy glaze ahead of time, and keep it refrigerated until needed. It will make about 1/2 cup. Because it's very hot and spicy, it doesn't take much to glaze the chicken breast. If you have some left over, it can be used like pepper jelly for other uses too. (I doubled the glaze recipe to keep on hand in the fridge.) Habaneros are delicious but extremely spicy. If you want to tone down the heat, use less habanero, or use a milder pepper. Also, use extreme care when mincing the habanero. I use a paper towel wrapped around my fingers, to prevent my fingers from coming in contact with it. If you get it on your fingers, and touch your eye - YOWSA!

GRILLED JERK CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLE-RUM GLAZE



Grilled Jerk Chicken With Pineapple-Rum Glaze image

You can really use just about any part of the chicken skin on or off, but I have to say that it is better with the skin left on. Prepare ahead the chicken needs to marinate in the fridge for 3 hours, and if possible use only dark sugar it seems to work better, my family loves this chicken!

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.

Steps:
