JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN AND SEASONING



Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Seasoning image

I was fortunate to receive an old family recipe from a business associate who is from Jamaica for jerk seasoning. We like it so much that I make 2# batches at a time. For those of you not familiar with Jerk, it is a spicy, sweet, tangy and HOT seasoning for grilled meat, pork and chicken particularly. This spice blend recipe will make enough for several batches, but remember, the idea is to put as much on the meat as you can get to stick.

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons ground thyme
1 tablespoon ground rosemary
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground scotch bonnet peppers (habanero)
12 bay leaves (finely crumbled)
1/3 cup sugar
3 lbs chicken (pieces, wings, halves, whatever)
1 lime, juice of
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine all but chicken, lime juice and oil in mixing bowl and whisk to mix well.
  • Whisk together lime juice and olive oil.
  • Rub chicken well with lime/oil mix. Do not marinate.
  • Coat chicken with dry seasoning/spice mixture. The idea here is to get as much as possible to stick to the chicken. We store our seasoning in a leftover spice container with large sprinkle holes and use that to season. This is not a rub, so it should not be applied in rub fashion.
  • Refrigerate 1-3 hours, then remove from refrigerator and allow to come to near room temperature.
  • Prepare grill for direct/indirect grilling.
  • Grill chicken over hot direct fire. Don't worry about the black, it's supposed to be there. In fact, 30-40% of the skin should end up black, but it will not be bitter.
  • Once seared, remove to the indirect heat area of the grill and cook to 165* internal temperature.
  • One quick dance across the direct heat before serving will help crisp it a bit.
  • Serve with plenty of napkins.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH JERK SEASONING (GLUTEN-FREE)



Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Jerk Seasoning (Gluten-Free) image

From Delight Gluten Free Magazine, Summer 2009. Posted for ZWT5, Caribbean region. Prep/cook time does not include marinating time (6-8 hours), so plan in advance.

Provided by NELady

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 1 tenderloin, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Start with a well trimmed tenderloin making sure to remove any of the "silver" skin from the surface. The silver skin is a shiny membrane you typically find on tenderloins. Once you've trimmed the ternderloin you're ready to prepare your jerk rub.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the thyme, dried onion, allspice, cracked black pepper, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Coat tenderloin lightly with oil and rub seasoning onto meat. Set aside to marinate (wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6-8 hours).
  • Prepare grill for direct heat grilling over high heat. Once grill is hot place marinated pork onto the hottest part of the grill and cook the tenderloin for about 3 minutes on each of its four sides. Cook just until the pork feels firm and springs back when pressed or an instant-read thermometer reads 145*F when inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin. Be careful not to overcook it.
  • Remove from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Slice in about 3/4" slices and serve.

LULU'S JERK SEASONING



Lulu's Jerk Seasoning image

I got this from her "Crazy Sista Cooking" book. She is Jimmy Buffett's sister. I know there a gazillion jerk recipes on here but I like this one because it's so simple, I always have the ingredients on hand, you only need 2 measuring spoons, and it keeps well. I usually leave out the orange and lemon peel granules and it's still great. I've baked, grilled and kabobed (I think I just made a new word) chicken with this. This is great served with a cucumber sauce too.
