How to cook deliciously - Jamaican Jerk Chicken

1. Stage

Place chicken in a medium bowl. Cover with water and lime juice. Set aside.

2. Stage

Place oil, allspice, thyme, black pepper, salt, brown sugar, ginger, and nutmeg in a blender; blend until well combined. Add onions, green onions, habanero peppers, and garlic; blend until almost smooth.

3. Stage

Pour most of the blended marinade mixture into the bowl with chicken, reserving a small amount to use as a basting sauce while cooking. Stir chicken until well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

4. Stage

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

5. Stage

Cook chicken slowly on the preheated grill, turning frequently and basting often with reserved marinade mixture, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). LynnInHK
