Jerk Chicken on the Barbecue

I'm a "jerk chicken"beginner, and I've been checking out all kinds of ways to make it. By the way, it says on the Gaban brand jerk seasoning package that I used that you don't need to add anything else, but to me that sounded kind of boring, so I made it sweeter and more fragrant. My next assignment is to give it a deeper flavor.

- Marinate the meat whole without cutting it up. However, it's better to butterfly the chicken breasts, since they are uneven in thickness, in order to cook them properly.
- The spiciness of this recipe is about the same as medium-spicy curry. Recipe by Homard Ebiko

Ingredients

5 servings
  1. 1 1/2 kgChicken
  2. 3 tbspHoney
  3. 3 tbspGrated onion
  4. 3cloves' worth Grated garlic
  5. 1/2lemons' worth Lemon juice
  6. 75 gramsJerk chicken seasoning

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    I bought the seasoning at a store that sells imported foods. Cut off the white fatty part of the chicken thighs and leave them whole. Butterfly the chicken breasts. Put both parts in a plastic bag, add the honey and rub it in.

  2. 2

    Next, rub in the lemon juice, onion and garlic. When it's thoroughly coated, add the seasoning.

  3. 3

    Rub it some more! Let it chill in the fridge from anywhere from one hour to ovenight. Then, all you need to do is barbecue it, or cook it in a frying pan, in the oven, or on a .

  4. 4

    You can also put the bag of chicken in the freezer after coating it with the seasoning, and defrost it in time to barbecue. It'll be spicy!

  5. 5

    In Jamaica they use a steel drum made into a kind of grill and steam-cook the chicken. How about trying the following way of cooking it, to simulate the real thing?

  6. 6

    Soak 1 cup of smoke chips (I used hickory chips) in water for 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Drain the smoke chips and wrap them up in a double layer of aluminum foil. Leave a hole in the top for steam to escape.

  8. 8

    Put the package of smoke chips on top of the hot charcoal. Lay the chicken skin-side down on the grill. Steam and smoke will rise up as the charcoal burns.

  9. 9

    Cover with a lid, if your barbecue has one. If it doesn't have a lid, cover it with foil.

  10. 10

    It's done. Cutting it up with kitchen scissors seems easiest. Oh my word...it's sooo good!

  11. 11

    I cooked this one in a frying pan, skin-side down and covered it with a lid halfway through.
