1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon cayenne powder
2 teaspoons coarse black pepper
2 teaspoons dry thyme

Combine all spices in a small bowl. Rub the skin side of the chicken with the rub and let rest for 30 minutes. Heat the grill to medium heat and grill the thighs, skin side down for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn the chicken, close the cover of the grill and move the chicken to the side (or cooler part) of the grill. Continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes or until completely cooked through. Remove to a platter and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve fresh mango slices and Mango-Habanero Hot Sauce. Sprinkle leaves of cilantro on top.

Categories main-dish

Time 5h10m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 33

Ingredients

1/2 small yellow onion, quartered
5 cloves garlic, peeled
1 large jalapeno
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Kosher salt
4 chicken legs (thighs and drumsticks together)
Vegetable oil, for drizzling
Pickapeppa Sour Cream, recipe follows
4 soft sandwich rolls, split
Mango Chutney, recipe follows
Fried Plantains, recipe follows
Cilantro, for serving
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons pickapeppa sauce
Zest of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 mangos, peeled and small diced
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup dark raisins
2 tablespoons grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 jalapeno, minced
Kosher salt
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon turmeric
Canola oil, for frying
1 green plantain
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns

Steps:

Combine the onion, garlic, jalapeno, soy sauce, sugar, thyme, cinnamon, allspice and a pinch of salt together in a food processor and blend for a couple of minutes, scraping up pieces that cling to the walls to make sure everything is blended evenly.
Combine the jerk rub and the chicken legs in a casserole dish that is just big enough to fit the chicken pieces. Work the rub into the chicken, making sure to put the mixture under the skin as well. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Drizzle the marinated chicken with vegetable oil and season with salt. Roast it in the marinade in the center rack of the oven until an instant-read thermometer shows an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 40 minutes. Let the chicken cool slightly, then pull off the meat in large shreds, discarding the bones. Toss the shredded chicken with any leftover juices in the pan.
Sandwich build: Spread some Pickapeppa Sour Cream on both sides of the bread. Place some of the Mango Chutney on the bread. Put on a layer of shredded chicken and top with some Fried Plaintains and cilantro. Serve extra plantains on the side. Enjoy, man!
Mix together the sour cream, pickapeppa sauce and lime zest in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix together the mangos, sugar, raisins, ginger, garlic, jalapeno and salt to taste in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Combine the mango mixture with the vinegar and turmeric in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent the chutney from sticking to the pan until thickened and thoroughly combined, about 20 minutes.
Fill a Dutch oven halfway with canola oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
Peel the plantain and slice it lengthwise into long thin strips. (A mandolin slicer will give you the best results.) You can crack the peppercorns by crushing them with a heavy pan on a cutting board; you are looking for a very coarse grind. Drop the plantain strips in the hot oil and allow them to fry up crispy, about 1 minute. Transfer the plantains directly to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately season with salt and the cracked black peppercorns.
