Jerk chicken

Allspice, scotch bonnet and smoke. It is meant to hurt a little.

How to make jerk chicken

One way to do it. The same ones the app hands you once you have decided.

Marinated hard, cooked slow

90 minutes · serves 4 · Medium

What you need

  • 8 chicken thighs
  • 4 scotch bonnets
  • 1 bunch spring onions
  • 2 tbsp allspice
  • 1 tbsp thyme
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 lime
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg

What you do

  1. 1Blend everything except the chicken into a wet paste. Wear gloves for the scotch bonnets, seriously.
  2. 2Score the chicken and marinate at least 4 hours, overnight if you can.
  3. 3Cook it slowly first — 45 minutes at 180C, covered.
  4. 4Then hot and direct at the end for the char. Under a grill is fine if there is no fire.
  5. 5Rest it, then chop through the bone the way it is sold on the roadside.
