JERK CHICKEN FAMILY STYLE
This rub is less fiery then traditional Jamaican Jerk seasoning... but although it lacks the heat, it does not compromise the flavor, so the whole family can enjoy this one. If you'd like to kick the heat up a notch, just add more cayenne pepper to the rub. Corn bread, rice and beans (or just plain rice), or corn on the cob would all taste great with this highly spiced chicken. Fried plantains are another appropriate accompaniment. The longer you can marinate the chicken legs, the more the flavor will penetrate the meat. I suggested forty minutes, but you can marinate the chicken for up to twenty-four hours. BEVERAGE: The strong flavors in this recipe pair best with a refreshing wine such as a slightly chilled French Beaujolais. Or crack open a cold Red Stripe!
