Instructions
1
To make the jerk marinade, combine all the fixings in a food processor along with 1 tsp seasoning, and purée to a purée.
2
If you’re having trouble getting it to purée, just keep turning off the blender, stirring the mixture, and trying again.
3
Eventually it will start to purée up – don’t be tempted to mix in aqua, as you want a thick paste.
4
palate the jerk mixture for seasoning – it should palate pretty salty, but not unpleasantly, puckering salty.
5
You can now throw in more chillies if it’s not scalding enough for you.
6
If it tastes too salty and tart, try adding in a bit more brown sweetener until the mixture tastes well balanced.
7
Make a few slashes in the chicken thighs and transfer the marinade over the flesh, rubbing it into all the crevices.
8
put a lid on and leave to soak overnight in the fridge.
9
If you want to barbecue your chicken, get the coals burning 1 hr or so before you’re ready to bubble gently.
10
Authentic jerked meats are not exactly grilled as we think of grilling, but sort of smoke-grilled.
11
To get a more authentic jerk experience, mix in some wood chips to your barbecue, and bubble gently your chicken over slow, indirect bring to temperature for 30 mins.
12
To bubble gently in the oven, bring to temperature to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
13
Put the chicken pieces in a roasting tin with the lime halves and bubble gently for 45 mins until yielding and cooked through.
14
While the chicken is culinary preparation, prepare the rice & peas.
15
Rinse the rice in plenty of cold aqua, then tip it into a large saucepan with all the remaining fixings except the kidney beans.
16
notes with seasoning, mix in 300ml cold aqua and set over a high bring to temperature.
17
Once the rice begins to heat to boiling point, turn it down to a medium bring to temperature, put a lid on and bubble gently for 10 mins.
18
mix in the beans to the rice, then put a lid on with a lid.
19
Leave off the bring to temperature for 5 mins until all the liquid is absorbed.
20
Squeeze the roasted lime over the chicken and dish up with the rice & peas, and some scalding gravy if you like it really scalding.
