MOCK CHICKEN LEGS
When my Mom was little, she would have this as part of her birthday party picnic. With it would be potato salad, dressed up B&M beans, potato chips, watermelon, brownies, and her cucumbers. Her birthday is August 16, so she remembers how it was always really hot, yet her Mom would still prepare everything for her special day. She would make enough for 2 skewers per person, and with all of her family that meant feeding 12 people. The amount of meat I have listed is an estimate, as the paper this was originally written on didn't list specifics, so I don't know how much she bought to feed that many!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Whack cinnamon stick with the back side of a chef's knife to break into small pieces. Toast cinnamon, allspice, peppercorns, and cloves in a dry small skillet over medium-high, tossing, until fragrant, about 2 minutes; let cool.
- Grind spices, brown sugar, thyme, and cayenne in spice mill or with mortar and pestle to a fine powder. Mix oil and 2 Tbsp. spice rub in a small bowl (save remaining rub for another use). Rub chicken legs with jerk spice mixture; season with salt. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown and cooked through, 30-35 minutes.
- Do Ahead
- Jerk spice can be made 3 months ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use a variety of spices. Jerk seasoning typically includes a blend of allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, cloves, and ginger. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There is no one-size-fits-all jerk seasoning recipe. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more tender.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Baste the chicken with the marinade while it is cooking. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Jerk chicken goes well with rice, beans, plantains, and salad.
Conclusion:
Jerk chicken is a flavorful and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are grilling, baking, or frying the chicken, you are sure to enjoy this Jamaican classic. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give jerk chicken a try. You won't be disappointed.
