SMOKY AND SPICY JERK-MARINATED CHICKEN

Smoky and Spicy Jerk-Marinated Chicken image

This recipe started as a mistake when I was trying to make another recipe I found on here called 'Delectable Marinated Chicken.' While at the store I accidentally bought 'Caribbean Jerk Marinade' instead of teriyaki sauce and rather than go back to the store, I decided to wing it and see what happens. I ended up liking the results enough that I decided to replace the store-bought sauce with a jerk spice mixture, and this recipe was born.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon habanero (Scotch bonnet) chili powder
½ teaspoon ground thyme
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
4 large boneless, skinless whole chicken breasts

Steps:

Mix brown sugar, salt, sesame seeds, black pepper, red pepper flakes, chili powder, thyme, coriander, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves together in a bowl.
Mix Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, molasses, and liquid smoke together in a separate bowl. Combine with the spice blend to make the marinade.
Remove tenderloins from chicken breasts and cut the rest of the breasts in half. Reserve about 1/4 of the rub; coat chicken with the remainder and marinate 4 hours to overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill marinated chicken pieces over direct heat until no longer pink in the centers, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with reserved marinade.

Ingredients

1 bunch scallions, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 jalapeno chile, chopped (ribs and seeds removed, for less heat)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grates
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coarse salt
8 pieces bone-in chicken (drumsticks and thighs), skinned and trimmed of excess fat

Steps:

Make marinade: In a blender, combine scallions, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, oil, sugar, allspice, thyme, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons water; blend until smooth. Set aside 1/4 cup for brushing.
Place chicken in a shallow dish; season all over with salt. Pour remaining marinade over chicken; toss to coat. Cover; refrigerate, turning once or twice, at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
Heat grill to medium-high; oil grates. Lift chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off (discard marinade); place on grill, and cover. Cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is blackened in spots, about 10 minutes.
Move chicken to a cooler part of the grill; brush with reserved marinade. Grill, covered, until chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve immediately.
