Jamaican Jerk Marinade

Gingerbear's Note:

This is a good one for Turkey, Fish, pork and Chicken. You may want to double up on this one because it is only 6 servings. This is also for about 1-1/2 lbs of meat.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon allspice
• 1 tablespoon gingerroot, minced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (I use more because I love garlic)
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions:

1. Mix all marinade ingredients in a shallow baking dish (I just use a large ziplock bag for all of my marinating).
2. Reserve 1/2 cup to be used as a dipping sauce or baste.
3. Add meat to marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes to overnight.
4. Then grill when you are ready.

Oohhh this is so good. The best barbecue! I used chicken legs and thighs, and marinated for about 30 hours. Also used mesquite chips that had soaked in water for lots of smoke.

I'd never had jerk chicken before and I was pleasantly surprised with the flavour. We ran out of gas for the BBQ so I ended up having to bake the chicken in the oven and the taste was great. This will be a regular dish at our BBQ's from now on.
