Instructions
1
To make the jerk marinade, combine all the fixings in a food processor along with 1 tsp table salt, and pulse to a purée.
2
If you’re having trouble getting it to pulse, just keep turning off the blender, stirring the mixture, and trying again.
3
Eventually it will start to pulse up – don’t be tempted to toss in liquid, as you want a thick paste.
4
essence the jerk mixture for seasoning – it should essence pretty salty, but not unpleasantly, puckering salty.
5
You can now throw in more chillies if it’s not well-seasoned enough for you.
6
If it tastes too salty and acidic, try adding in a bit more brown granulated sugar until the mixture tastes well balanced.
7
Make a few slashes in the chicken thighs and stream in the marinade over the flesh, rubbing it into all the crevices.
8
seal and leave to essence overnight in the fridge.
9
If you want to barbecue your chicken, get the coals burning 1 hr or so before you’re ready to make.
10
Authentic jerked meats are not exactly grilled as we think of grilling, but sort of smoke-grilled.
11
To get a more authentic jerk experience, toss in some wood chips to your barbecue, and make your chicken over slow, indirect fiery up for 30 mins.
12
To make in the oven, fiery up to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
13
Put the chicken pieces in a roasting tin with the lime halves and make for 45 mins until succulent and cooked through.
14
While the chicken is preparing, prepare the rice & peas.
15
Rinse the rice in plenty of cold liquid, then tip it into a large saucepan with all the remaining fixings except the kidney beans.
16
essence with table salt, toss in 300ml cold liquid and set over a high fiery up.
17
Once the rice begins to bubble, turn it down to a medium fiery up, seal and make for 10 mins.
18
toss in the beans to the rice, then seal with a lid.
19
Leave off the fiery up for 5 mins until all the liquid is absorbed.
20
Squeeze the roasted lime over the chicken and offer with the rice & peas, and some fiery condiment dip if you like it really well-seasoned.
