Best 7 Spicy Caribbean Glazed Chicken Recipes

CARIBBEAN CANADIAN GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• To Make Glaze: In a medium bowl combine the ketchup, pineapple juice, molasses, rum, mustard and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
• Place chicken pieces in a lightly oiled 9x13 inch baking dish; brush both sides with prepared glaze, using about 1/2 of the glaze. Cover dish and refrigerate to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Also, refrigerate remaining glaze.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Lightly brush chicken pieces on one side with some of the reserved glaze and bake uncovered in preheated oven for about 25 minutes. Turn pieces, brush with remaining glaze and bake for another 25 minutes or until chicken is tender.
• Preheat oven to broil.
• Put chicken under broiler and lightly brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes each side. (Note: Watch chicken carefully, as this 'sugary' glaze burns easily!)

CARIBBEAN-SPICED ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, rum, and brown sugar; set sauce aside.
• Mix together the cayenne pepper, clove, cinnamon, ginger, pepper, salt, and thyme leaves. Brush the chicken with oil, then coat with the spice mixture.
• Place in a roasting pan, and bake about 90 minutes, until the juices run clear or until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of the thigh reaches 180 degrees F. Baste the chicken with the reserved sauce every 20 minutes while it's cooking. Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving.

SPICY CARIBBEAN GLAZED CHICKEN

• In small saucepan, combine chili sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, allspice and ginger.
• Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat.
• Place chicken on grill, skin side down, over low heat.

SPICY CARIBBEAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prepare spicy marinade by mixing together all ingredients.
• Wash chicken and pat dry.
• Pour marinade over chicken to coat.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, but no longer than 6 hours.
• Brush or spray grill with vegetable oil.
• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat.
• Remove chicken from marinade.
• Place on grill rack, cover and grill 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 15 minutes to 20 minutes, turning once.

SPICY GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry and pound to an even ½-inch thickness with a heavy skillet or meat pounder.
• In a large (12-inch) skillet, combine the oil, almonds and garlic. Season with salt, then set over high heat. Once the mixture starts to sizzle, reduce heat to medium and cook, swirling occasionally, until light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the almonds and garlic to a paper towel-lined plate. (Keep the oil in the skillet.)
• Set the skillet over medium-high. Season the chicken all over with 1 teaspoon salt, then add to the skillet and cook until browned underneath and opaque halfway up the sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and transfer the chicken to a plate, seared side up.
• With the skillet still over low heat, add the tomato paste and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly and scraping up browned bits, until the paste is a shade darker and starts to stick to the skillet, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chicken, as well as any accumulated juices, seared side up to the skillet, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. (The moisture from the chicken will keep the tomato paste from burning, but if you're concerned, add a teaspoon of water as a preventative measure.)
• Uncover, add the lemon juice, then flip and drag the chicken through the tomato-lemon glaze to coat all sides. Transfer to plates, spoon over any remaining glaze and sprinkle with the fried almonds and garlic.
