Grilled Jerk Chicken

This was my very first time trying out Jerk Chicken. This recipe is a mix of a few recipes that I came across.  I hope you enjoy!!

Ingredients

2 lbs skinless chicken breast (or thighs)

1/2 cup white vinegar

2 habanero peppers

1 red onion, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

2 large limes, juiced

4 green onions

2 tbsp bourbon whiskey

1/4 cup Sugar

1-2 Tbs Soy Sauce

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp thyme leaves

4 dashes ground cinnamon

4 dashes allspice

2 tbsp fresh grated ginger

2 tsp garlic

2 tsp molasses

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

The first thing we will do is prepare our sauce.  I used a mini-ninja (i think thats what its called) to chop up and blend my jerk seasoning.

Place your vinegar, Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), Sugar,  Habanero Peppers(I removed the seeds from one of them), Soy Sauce, Bourbon Whiskey, Molasses Garlic , Ginger, Allspice, Cinnamon, Red Bell Pepper, Green Onion, Thyme, Salt and Pepper.  

Blend until smooth.

NEXT....The Chicken!

1. Make sure you dry your chicken well after cleaning and use a knife to poke holes into each breast.
2. Place your chicken in a container and pour a genourous amount of Jerk Sauce over it.  You can reserve some of the jerk sauce for basting later.
3. Marinate for a minimum of 1 hour (overnight for the maximum flavor!)
4. Place the chicken breast on your grill and grill until done(Check out the video for a few tips on grilling).  (I baste my chicken during the first half of cooking).
