Instructions to make Mike's Jerk Chicken - Spicy Beans/Rice & Fried Plantains
- First - Jerk Chicken Dish - The EASY way.
● Open 2 10 oz jars Traditional Jerk Seasoning.
● WALKERSWOOD TRADITIONAL makes a great Jamaican Jerk seasoning and, has all the fantastic flavors I remember from my visit there.
● If you can't find that specific brand - here's a quick Chefs tip. Jarred Jamaican Jerk Seasoning is one of those few culinary items where the most expensive - is usually the best. So look for the $6.00+ per bottle range.
- FOR YOUR EASY CHICKEN PURÉE
● Purée these ingredients in a blender.
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1 large onion, roughly chop
2 scotch bonnet peppers [habeneros will work as well - optional]
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp dried thyme
10 garlic cloves
1/8 cup lime juice
● Mix this simple purée to your 2 10 oz bottles of jarred jerk seasoning.
- Rinse 8 pieces of bone in chicken and pat dry. Your choice of cut. I typically use thighs. Skin on. They tend to lend more fat and flavor.
- Marinate chicken in your jerk seasoning and purée mixture in a large zip lock bag for 2+ hours. Or, even overnight if possible.
- ● Bake chicken plus marinade at 400° for 1 hour. Following that, peirce your thickest piece of chicken with a knife. If the juices run clear, they're done. If not, bake a bit longer.
● Pull from oven and char chicken on a heated BBQ grill until there's a nice cross hatch char on each piece.
● Side note: Since both of my grills were completely frozen shut, I couldn't grill my chicken tonight. Just try to visualize them with a glorious, delectable, solid cross cut char on them. ;0)
● I would eventually be forced to fry them on high with a minimal amount of high heat oil to achieve a decent char. Then, I drained them on paper towels. I also fried in 4 piece batches.
- Charred thighs draining on paper towels.

3/4 cup white onions [small chop]

1 Scotch Bonnet or Habenero pepper [fine minced or leave whole and pull after frying - it'll still leave behind the heat and flavor]
1 splash coconut milk
● Fry/sweat everything [except for beans, rice and broth] together until opaque or, translucent. About 4 minutes. Be careful not to burn your garlic though. Stir regularly.
● Add your rice, beans and broth and fry covered until both are fully heated and rice has absorbed the fluid. Stir regularly.
- FOR THE EASY FAUX PLANTAINS
[since plantains are somewhat harder to find]
4 extremely firm bananas [cut into 1/2" slices at an angle]
