Jamaican Jerk Chicken

By Tasty250 min🍽 4 servings

This spicy and flavorful chicken is perfect for a summer BBQ. The jerk seasoning adds a delicious kick, while the chicken is juicy and tender.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the chicken by removing the backbone using a pair of kitchen shears or a sharp knife. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and and flatten it down to spread the chicken out as much as possible.

  2. 2

    In a blender or food processor, combine the peppers, garlic, thyme, allspice, onions, brown sugar, nutmeg, ginger, olive oil, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover with foil or plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  5. 5

    Remove the foil or plastic wrap and roast the chicken for 45-50 minutes, until cooked through. Rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board before carving and serving.

  6. 6

    Enjoy!
