Time 4h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 pieces chicken drumsticks or 8 pieces chicken legs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1 bunch spring onion
2 garlic cloves
1 hot chili pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon plain flour
1/2 pint chicken stock
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons tomato paste
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan until melted, then add the chicken, in batches if necessary, and cook until browned on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat in the pan, and transfer to the ceramic cooking pot. Switch the slow cooker to high.
  • Add the spring onions, garlic and chilli to the frying pan and cook gently for 4-5 minutes, or until softened, stirring frequently. Stir in the allspice, cinnamon, thyme, nutmeg and sugar. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to mix, then gradually add the chicken stock, stirring until the mixture bubbles and thickens. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Stir the vinegar, lime juice, tomato paste and some salt and ground black pepper into the sauce. Pour over the chicken pieces, cover with a lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chickeen is cooked and very tender.
  • Remove the chicken from the sauce and place on a serving dish. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, then serve separately, with salad leaves or rice as an accompaniment. I usually chop up some tomatoes and peppers and wrap it all up in a tortilla.

Provided by Jordan Ballantine

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3-pound chicken
3 scotch bonnet or habanero peppers, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon ground allspice

1 tablespoon light brown sugar

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts work best for this recipe, as they will stay moist and juicy in the slow cooker.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices to your taste. If you like a milder jerk chicken, use less scotch bonnet pepper. If you like it hot, use more. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, coriander, or allspice.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but preferably overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice and beans, coleslaw, or grilled pineapple. You can also use the chicken to make tacos, sandwiches, or wraps.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker Jamaican jerk BBQ chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a weekend cookout. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful jerk sauce and then cooked in the slow cooker until it is fall-off-the-bone tender. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
