How to Make Jerk Chicken on the Grill– Spicy & Juicy
Jerk Chicken Recipe
For the Chicken & Marinade:
– 1 entire chicken, cut into quarters
– 1 bottle Walkerswood Jerk Marinade
– 1 tablespoon Malcom's Jammin' Jerk Seasoning
– 1 cup dark brown sugar
– 1 Scotch Bonnet or Habanero pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 bunch green onions, sliced (green parts for marinade, white parts for sauce).
– 4-5 cloves garlic, minced.
– Juice from 1/2 lemon.
– 4 oz pineapple juice.
– 1 tablespoon Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce.
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
For the Jerk Dipping Sauce:.
– 1/2 stick butter.
– White parts of the green onion, carefully chopped.
– 4 cloves garlic, minced.
– 1 Scotch Bonnet or Habanero pepper, finely sliced.
– 1 tablespoon Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce.
– 4-5 dashes Worcestershire sauce.
– 1 teaspoon Malcom's Jammin' Jerk Seasoning.
– 1/4 cup brown sugar.
– 1/4 cup honey.
– Juice from 1/2 lemon.
Directions.
1. Marinade the Chicken:.
– Cut the entire chicken into quarters, separating white and dark meat. Rating the chicken breasts with shallow slits to assist with even cooking and better flavor absorption.
– Place the chicken quarters in a big ziplock bag. Pour in the jerk marinade and include Malcom's Jammin' Jerk spices.
– In a separate bowl, blend together the remaining marinade active ingredients, then put into the ziplock bag.
– Eject excess air, seal the bag, and carefully massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate over night (or a minimum of 8 hours).
2. Prepare the Grill:.
– Get rid of the chicken from the marinade and lightly season with a bit more Jerk flavoring.
– Establish a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking at 350 ° F. (I utilized my Primo ceramic grill, however any grill works.).
3. Prepare the Chicken:.
– Location the chicken on the indirect side of the grill. Prepare for about 45 minutes, or till the internal temperature reaches 160 ° F for breast meat and 175 ° F for dark meat.
4. Make the Jerk Dipping Sauce:.
– Place a heavy-bottomed pot directly over the cinders.
– Add butter, white parts of the green onion, garlic, and peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes till softened.
– Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a mild boil. Remove from heat and put into a small meal to cool.
5. Char & Serve:.
– Move the chicken quarters to the direct heat side of the grill.
– Sear for 1-2 minutes per side, just till you get that best jerk char.
– Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
– Serve hot with the jerk dipping sauce on the side.
Delight in the bold, smoky, and spicy goodness of this Jerk Chicken!
