Caymanian Style Jerk Chicken Food

CARIBBEAN JERK CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• For the Caribbean Jerk Chicken:
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oven to 500 degrees F. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl. Set aside. Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry. Dip in red wine, then in dry seasonings. Place on preheated grill and cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Finish in the preheated oven for about another 10 minutes.
• For the butter sauce:
• Saute shallots until they begin to become translucent. Add the white wine and reduce by half. Add heavy cream and reduce again by half. Add butter, salt and pepper and cook until butter is completely melted.
• For the fried bananas:
• Dip bananas into all-purpose flour. Deep-fry until the bananas become crisp on the outside. Pour butter sauce on a dinner plate. Sprinkle with hot sauce. Place 2 chicken breasts over the butter sauce, add 6 pieces of fried banana and white rice. Serve immediately.

JERK CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the collard greens: Peel off collard green leaves from stems (leave in big pieces; we do not dice our collard greens).
• Place onions in a pot with butter over medium heat. Add celery, carrots and peppers.
• Cut bacon strips into 3 sections and add to the pot. Add black pepper. Saute all together-do NOT crisp bacon, but allow browning on the bottom of the pot, stirring every now and then and scraping the bottom of the pot. Add 1 cup water, deglazing bottom of the pot.
• Add paprika and saute more. The pot will start to dry out; add water as needed, making sure that the pot stays moist and wet but being careful not to overwater. Add garlic and collard greens along with 3 cups water.
• Add garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder and House Seasoning and continue to saute, adding water as needed, until the collard greens become soft. Add potatoes and fill pot with hot water until everything is barely submerged. Add ham base. Stir. Cover and cook, stirring every 30 minutes and adding water as needed to keep everything submerged, for 3 hours.
• For the mashed potatoes: Place potatoes in a pot. Pour hot water over the top until potatoes are submerged. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and put potatoes to the side.
• Add butter and garlic to the hot pot. Add potatoes, sour cream, whipping cream and 3-cheese mixture, along with House Seasoning. Mash all ingredients together.
• For the jerk seasoning: Mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle, cumin, salt, brown sugar, cayenne, ginger, nutmeg, black pepper, seasoning blend and blackening seasoning in a bowl.
• For the jerk chicken: Stir the salt and cayenne into the buttermilk, then add the chicken. Marinate, refrigerated, for at least 16 but no more than 24 hours.
• Take out chicken and cut each piece in half at an angle. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with jerk seasoning.
• Add 1 tablespoon butter to a hot pan. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Add chicken and cook both sides until chicken is almost done. Add green peppers and onions, pork belly, House Seasoning, a pinch jerk seasoning and a little more butter.
• Add a touch of water while shaking the pan. Cook until pork belly, peppers, and onions are translucent and the chicken is cooked through. Add parsley and roasted red peppers for decoration. Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.
• Mix the garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, onion powder, seasoned salt and cayenne in a bowl.

JERK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, soy sauce, thyme, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, scallions, garlic, habanero and a pinch of salt together in a food processor and blend for a couple of minutes, scraping up any pieces that cling to the walls to make sure everything is blended evenly.
• Drizzle veggie oil on the chicken and work the spice rub into the chicken, making sure to put the mixture under the skin as well. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
• Oil and preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the chicken skin-side down, flipping halfway through, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Serve with the Mango Chutney and cilantro.
• Mix together the raisins, sugar, ginger, garlic, mangos, jalapenos and salt to taste in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Combine the mango mixture with the vinegar and turmeric in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent the chutney from sticking to the pan, until thickened and thoroughly combined, about 20 minutes.

JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whizz all the ingredients for the marinade in a blender to form a thick paste. It shouldn't be too runny, similar to the consistency of sweet chilli sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three weeks.
• Slit the chicken skin with a sharp knife, then put into a container. Pour over the jerk marinade, making sure the chicken is completely covered. You may not need all the marinade. Cover the chicken and place in the fridge for at least 4 hrs, but ideally 24 hrs.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the chicken in an ovenproof dish, cover with foil and cook for 30-45 mins. Remove the foil and baste the chicken with the juices from the dish, then cook for a further 10 mins. The skin should start to crisp up. Check the meat is cooked by cutting into the deepest part of the chicken. If the juices run out red, return to the oven for 10 mins more, or until the juices run clear. Serve with rice & peas or any of your favourite side dishes.

JERK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rub the chicken quarters with lime, rinse, and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt.
• In a suitable bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients and add the chicken. Rub mixture in thoroughly and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or light the barbecue.
• Grill or roast the chicken slowly until very tender, for about 40 minutes.

JERK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken with the Jerk Rub, then saute or grill the chicken until firm but not cooked all the way, about 4 minutes per side.
• Remove to strainer and let sit for 1/2 hour to drain off as much of the juice as you can. Add the chicken to a pot. Cover the chicken 1/4 of the way up with the Jerk Base and then fill the pot with Jerk BBQ Sauce to the 3/4 point of the chicken. Simmer until the chicken starts to fall apart, about 45 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a clean strainer to drain, reserve the liquid, put back into the pot and reduce the contents of the pot by 1/4. While the liquid is being reduced, use 2 forks to pull the chicken apart. After the liquid is reduced, add the chicken back to the pot. It is ready to use at this point and can be made into sandwiches or served over rice.
• Combine the sugar, onion powder, 5 tablespoons salt, 3 tablespoons black pepper, garlic powder, allspice, cayenne, nutmeg, thyme, orange peel, cinnamon, sage, ginger, jalapeno powder, habanero powder and lime peel in a bowl and stir to combine.
• For the jerk BBQ sauce: Combine 1/2 the Jerk Base recipe with the store-bought BBQ sauce and honey in a large bowl and stir to blend.
• For the jerk base: Combine the yellow onions, green onions, jalapeno pepper, white sugar, brown sugar, cayenne, allspice, thyme, pepper, sage, nutmeg, cinnamon, vinegar, orange juice, soy sauce, rum, oil and lime juice and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. When the onions are very tender, remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. In batches, use a blender to puree until smooth.

JERK CHICKEN (THE WALKERSWOOD WAY)

Steps:

• Rub chicken with lime and salt. Mix jerk seasoning with red rum and brush onto chicken halves. For best results, marinate at least 2 hours or overnight, refrigerated. Brush more seasoning onto chicken just before grilling. Grill or bake slowly until chicken is done, then cut into quarters and serve. Good accompaniments are Jamaican "festival bread" (fried cornmeal dumplings) and vegetable brochettes with pineapple (skewered vegetables and pineapple chunks, cooked on the grill).;
