JERK CHICKEN

Jamaican  Jerk Chicken (Serves 4)
Ingredients:
  • Whole chicken 3-4 lbs. (cut in half or quartered)
  • ¼ cup of Sea salt
  • 2 fresh limes
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • ½ cup chopped green onion (scallions)
  • 2 Tbsps. brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 Tbsp. Orange Zest
  • 5 small jalapenos
  • 2 Tbsps. Extra Virgin Olive Oil and ¼ cup white vinegar  -Vinegar is optional
Directions: Rub chicken with lime juice and sea salt to coat the whole chicken. In a blender mix all jerk seasoning ingredients  for 10 – 15 seconds. Rub mixture over chicken covering the entire chicken.  Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
You can bake/ broil at 350 for about 45 minutes, I actually prefer broiling it because the skin gets crispy.
Preheat grill to medium heat and cook chicken slowly until fully cooked, flipping occasionally so that all sides cook even.  Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve this with rice and fresh veggies for a complete meal. Or Skip the Rice if on low carb. Enjoy!

Easier Way - Use  Walkerswood's traditional Jerk Seasoning and follow the instructions. Easy and no blending or mixing.
