Hey everyone I hope
you are having a great new year so far! I love to cook and jerk chicken has
been my obsession the past few months and I am bringing that obsession with me
into the new year lol. when I cook I believe that keeping it simple is what's
best as far as seasonings I stick to just basics but the food is good trust me
lol nothing is bland. so I just want to share this recipe with you and
hopefully you can use it and put your own twist on it.
Ingredients
Chicken legs, thighs or whichever piece of chicken you like (you can also another kind of meat or seafood)
Red onion (you can also use white I just like to cook with red best)
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Grace MILD jerk seasoning
(this is the brand and type or seasoning I used you can use whatever you
like I don’t like my chicken very spicy because I can’t handle it lol I like
just a little spice and a lot of flavor lol)
DIRECTIONS
You may want to use gloves for this so that you can really
get down and season the chicken. Clean your chicken before seasoning once your
chicken is cleaned pull down the skin on the chicken or if you want to have it skinless
you can. Add the onion powder to your chicken on both sides rub the powder in
or mix the chicken together in a bowl with a large cooking spoon. Then add the
garlic powder and follow the same procedure as you did for the onion powder. Once
that is done add a table spoon of jerk seasoning to your chicken and rub it on
the chicken you may add as much as you need however be aware that the seasoning
is salty which is why I did not use any salt at all just the powders to enhance
the flavor. Rub the chicken until you are content with the amount of seasoning.
Now pull the skin back up and add a bit of jerk to the skin and then add some
onion and garlic powder that the chicken is seasoned from the inside out. Once that
is done cut the lime and squeeze the juice from the lime unto the chicken cup
the onion in strips or circles or you can chop it up however you like it and
add it to the chicken. You can make this chicken the same day or you can marinate
it and make it the next day. If you choose to make it the same day if you can
let It marinate for some time at least 20-30 minutes but if you more time to
let it marinate in the fridge then let it marinate longer. Lay the chicken in a
pan put the onions on top cook for about and hr. to a hr. and 20mins. Then you
have jerk chicken and you can serve with any side dish you would like I really
like it with a baked sweet potato the sweetness from the potato just balances
out the spiciness from the jerk.
ps: I AM SORRY BUT I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT BUT IF I MAKE THE CHICKEN ANYTIME SOON I'LL UPDATE THE POST WITH A PICTURE. IN THE MEANTIME ENJOY THIS RECIPE MAKE IT SHARE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.
