esavvymom said:My hosp. NED said she actually is making the recipe using the Chili-Lime rub instead of the J.Jerk. And she's making the Mango Confetti Salsa for on top- instead of the peppers and such that are in the recipe!
I forget what she called it- Chili-Lime Chicken Nachos I think....basic. But a great idea that I can't wait to try.
Jamaican Jerk Chicken is a popular dish that originated in Jamaica. It is made by marinating chicken in a spicy blend of herbs and spices, including scallions, thyme, allspice, and Scotch bonnet peppers.
To make Jamaican Jerk Chicken, you will need to marinate chicken pieces in a mixture of herbs and spices for at least 2 hours or overnight. Then, the chicken can be grilled, baked, or cooked on the stovetop until it is fully cooked and tender.
Bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks are the most commonly used cuts for Jamaican Jerk Chicken. However, you can also use boneless chicken breasts or wings if preferred.
Yes, you can adjust the level of spiciness in Jamaican Jerk Chicken by using more or less Scotch bonnet peppers in the marinade. You can also remove the seeds and membranes of the peppers to decrease the heat.
Jamaican Jerk Chicken is often served with rice and beans, plantains, or grilled vegetables. Other popular side dishes include corn on the cob, coleslaw, and roasted sweet potatoes.
