JERK CHICKEN





(A spicy Caribbean recipe)








Preparation time overnight





Cooking time 10 to 30 mins.





Ingredients





6 chicken breasts





For the Jerk Sauce:





225g/8oz onions, quartered


2 habaneros or scotch bonnet chillies, halved and seeded


50g/2oz fresh root ginger, peeled and roughly chopped


½ tsp ground allspice


the leaves from 15g/½oz fresh thyme sprigs


1 tsp freshly ground black pepper


120ml/4fl oz white wine vinegar


120ml/4fl oz dark soy sauce





Method





1. Put all the ingredients for the jerked sauce into a food processor and whizz until smooth.


2. Place the chicken in a large shallow dish, pour over the sauce, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 24 hours, turning the chicken every now and then.


3. Barbecue the chicken breasts over medium-hot coals for 25-30 minutes and the wings for 20-25 minutes, basting now and then with the leftover sauce. As it cooks the thick sauce will go quite black in places, but as it falls off it will leave behind a really well flavoured, crisp skin, with lovely moist tender meat underneath.





Enjoy!!!






You can do anything with chicken breast! Here's just a personal favourite:


In a pan, mix some water, soy sauce, and mirin (Japanese cooking sake-- if you don't have this or can't get it, some white wine and sugar makes an okay substitute) so that it's about a quarter inch deep. I tend to use a more or less equal amount of soy sauce and mirin, with about the same water, to start. Heat it to simmer and set the chicken breasts in. Turn them occasionally. The soy sauce/mirin mix will simmer down and turn to sticky goo: this is good, but add more water if it looks like it's drying out. When it's done, slice it and serve it on top of good noodles or in soup or some other way that you like.

I like using chicken breast for meat in spaghetti instead of hmbrg or cook chicken breast and dice it up make stove top as box states and place in a casserole dish add 1 can cream mush soup and half can water and chicken and green beans, this is my husbands favorite.
maybe try some continental simmer sauces with your chicken, cut into cubes first, cook chicken in a pot, when they start to simmer a bit, pour the sauce on them. not hard. unlike other chicken recipes.
I just discovered this...I marinated the chicken breast in Kraft Tuscan Salad Dressing and grilled....it was ssoooooooo delicious!
