Jerk-main Chicken Defoe

Back again!

This time I've done a marinade which is sweet, sour, punjant and spicy....it's my version of a Jerk Chicken marinade.

 Throw in a bunch of Spring onions

 Throw in a thumb sized piece of ginger and three cloves of garlic

 One tablespoon of All Spice

 Three table spoons of molasses or dark brown sugar

 ....and oh yeah three table spoons of honey, half a tea spoon of dried thyme, three scotch bonnet chillis (take the seeds out if you're a wimp!) three tablespoons of soy sauce, three tablespoons of Worcester sauce, juice of one lime and three tablespoons of groundnut oil....and three tablespoons of rum if you want.

Score a pack of drumsticks or thighs so flavour can penetrate and cook quicker also cut the knuckles off the drumsticks, it will expose the bone and make them easier to handle.

Throw the sauce in with the chicken drumsticks and leave to marinade over night.....

....well that's it then, I'll cook them up and check out how they turn out?? Send me a picture if you do try this and cook them? You can leave for two hours.

Anyway weeks later I realised I actually did cook them....and they were awesome! So here they are...

They have that lovely caramelised colour, spicy/ sweet taste and I'll tell you what! Those Jamaicans are bloody clever!

And yes as you gathered this is dedicated to Mr Jermaine Defoe, so here is a video in his honour!
