Another Jerk Chicken/Pork Recipe
JAMAICAN JERKED CHICKEN (PORK)
1/2 cup minced green onions
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tbsp. minced gingerroot
OR 1 tsp. powdered ginger
1 tbsp. hot pepper (or to taste)
1 tbsp. lime or lemon juice
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Pinch of cloves
2 lbs. chicken thighs (legs)
In shallow glass dish, combine onions, orange juice, ginger, hot pepper, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, allspice, cinnamon and cloves. Add chicken;
cover and marinate in refrigerator, turning occasionally, for at least 2 or up to 8 hours. (I marinate in a large ziplock bag & turn it every half hour or so.)
Remove chicken from marinade, brush any hot pepper off chicken into the marinade and reserve.
Place chicken on greased grill over med-hot coals or at medium setting, turning occasionally, for 15 min. Drizzle with marinade; cook, drizzling with remaining marinade, for 15 to 25 min. longer or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced. Makes 4 servings. (I’ve been known to bake the chicken in a regular oven. Works well too.)
