Jerk Chicken

"Jamaicans love this sweet-and-spicy rub on both chicken and meat. Our rub is a little less firery than the traditional version, but if you like to kick up the heat a notch, just add more cayenne pepper."

directions

  • In a food processor or blender, purée all the ingredients except the chicken legs. Put the chicken in a large roasting pan and coat with the puréed mixture. Let the chicken marinate for about 30 minute.
  • Heat the oven to 450°F.
  • Cook the chicken legs in the upper third of the oven for 15 minutes. Turn the legs over and cook until just done, about 15 minutes longer.
  • MENU SUGGESTIONS.
  • Corn bread, rice and beans (or just plain rice), or corn on the cob would all taste great with this highly spiced chicken. Fried plantains are another appropriate accompaniment.
  • The longer you can marinate the chicken legs, the more the flavor will penetrate the meat. We've suggested thirty minutes, but you can marinate the chicken for up to twenty-four hours.
