This version of jerk chicken was taught to me by our cook in Jamaica, where we vacationed annually. It starts out with bottled jerk sauce, which simplifies matters. -Marion Winik
Ingredients:
1/2 cup jerk sauce, divided
1 cup vertically sliced onion
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 garlic cloves, chopped
4 chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds), skinned
4 chicken thighs (about 1 pound), skinned
1/2 cup light beer
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon hot sauce
cooking spray
julienne-cut green onions
Directions:
1. Combine 1/4 cup jerk sauce and next 5 ingredients (1/4 cup jerk sauce through garlic) in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator overnight, turning occasionally. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade.
2. Prepare grill to medium-high heat.
3. Combine 1/4 cup jerk sauce, beer, ketchup, and hot sauce.
4. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 20 minutes or until done, turning and basting frequently with beer mixture. Garnish chicken with green onions, if desired.
