I hope you have your grills ready because this weather is beautiful and I'm thinking jerk! And no, I didn't just call you a jerk! I'm talking about the style of cooking native to Jamaica in which meat is wet marinated with a hot spice mixture. Unfortunately, the marinade has 15 ingredients and let's face it, who has time for that?
The good news is that Tones has a jerk seasoning that with a little tweaking makes a tasty, quick marinade. You can jerk pork, lamb, goat or beef but the classic is chicken. Skip the breast and use the recipe below to marinate legs and boneless skinless chicken thighs. Serve with coconut rice and ice cold ginger beer and you have an authentic, delicious Jamaican meal.
Jerk Marinade
All you need:
2 tablespoons Tones jerk seasoning (1 ounce container)
Juice of one lime
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 habanero chile, finely chopped
All you do:
1. Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.
2. Marinate chicken for 2 or up to 8 hours and grill to perfection.
3. Enjoy!
As always, Praise the Lard!
