!±8± Best of the Really Spicy Authentic Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipes

Most Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipes found outside of Jamaica are a major disappointment. They usually consist of some weak, slightly spicy chicken breast that is grilled and served. These jerk recipes do not even come close to what you will find in the jerk huts of Jamaica.

This Jamaican jerk chicken recipe will change all that. We're talking about smoking-hot, well-seasoned jerk chicken, cooked the way it was meant to be. The flavor goes right to the bone, and the complexity of all the ingredients is mind-blowing.

This authentic jerk recipe begins with a wet marinade over thighs and drumsticks, and never breasts. The really important flavors in this recipe are thyme, allspice, and hot chiles. This recipe does not skimp on chiles and is very spicy. It uses a charcoal grill for best results and authenticity.

In Jamaica, jerk chicken is normally cooked over pimento branches (allspice). If apple wood is easier to find, we will be using that. But extra allspice will have to be added to make up the difference. The chicken is smoked at slow temperatures for a time, then grilled quickly to crisp up the skin.

Authentic Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe

This makes enough jerk chicken for about 4-6 servings, so double the recipe if needed.

Marinade
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 bunch of green onions, white and green parts roughly chopped
3 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2-3 habanero or Scotch bonnet peppers, stemmed and seeded
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 2 tsp. dried)
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon kosher or sea salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon dry or freshly grated nutmeg
3 pounds bone-in chicken drums and thighs
2 large handfuls apple wood chips, soaked in water for about 30 minutes

1) Combine the marinade ingredients and process in a blender or food processor for about one minute until pulverized. Use rubber gloves when handling the peppers.

2) Trim and discard any large pieces of fat on the chicken pieces. Cut a few shallow slits in each piece of chicken. This will let the flavors of the marinade and the smoke seep into the chicken. Place all chicken pieces into a large, sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade into the bag, seal, and mix it all around the chicken. Place in refrigerator to marinade for 12-16 hours.

3) Prepare a charcoal fire with higher heat on one side, and lower heat on the other (two-tone fire). Push the charcoal all the way to one side so it only covers about 1/3rd of the charcoal grate. If you are using a smoker, set it for a heat range of 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit. Drain the water from the apple chips, and add about half of them to the grill.

4) Remove the chicken from the plastic bag and let sit on a tray for 20-30 minutes before grilling. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and keep it refrigerated for the first hour of the chicken cooking.

5) Use a wire brush to clean the cooking grate. When the apple wood begins to smoke, start grilling the chicken, skin side down, over the side of the grill without the charcoal (indirect heat). Close the lid and keep closed as much as possible.

6) Bring the marinade to a boil, and let it boil for about 30 seconds or so to kill any bacteria. Brush the marinade all over the chicken, then turn skin side up. Add the remaining wood chips, cover, and continue to grill for another 45 minutes to an hour.

7) At this point, the meat will be very tender, but the skin will be soft and rubbery. Move the chicken to the hot side of the grill, skin side down first, and cook until well-browned on all sides (5-10 minutes), turning once or twice, and moving pieces around for even cooking. Serve chicken warm.

Once again, this is not for weak. But the spices and flavors from this authentic Jamaican jerk chicken recipe will have you saying "no worries" in no time.

Habanero Chile Peppers -- Spice it up!

!±8± Habanero Chile Peppers -- Spice it up!

A friend of mine once told me there is more to the culinary life than chile peppers. He might be right, but he keeps telling me this over my diner table, so go figure.

The habanero chile (Capsicum chinense Jacquin) is the most intensely spicy chile pepper of the Capsicum genus. Unripe habaneros are green, but the color at maturity varies. Common colors are orange and red, but white, brown, and pink are also seen.

Most habaneros rate 200,000-300,000 Scoville heat units (SHU), with the Guinness Book of Records recognizing the Red Savinas variety, developed by GNS Spices of Southern California, as the 'World's Hottest Spice' at 580,000 SHU. For comparison, a Cayenne pepper is typically 30,000 to 50,000 SHU while police-grade pepper spray rates 5,300,000 SHU. A typical Jalapeno pepper is about 4,500 Scoville units. This means that 4,500 parts of sugar water are required to dilute one part Jalapeno extract until its heat can no longer be felt.

Habaneros are believed to originate in Cuba. Other producers include Belize, the Yucatan peninsula, Costa Rica and some US states including Texas, Idaho and California.

The habanero's heat and delicate fruity, citrus-like flavor make it a popular ingredient in the hotter hot sauces and the spiciest of foods. We are going to discuss some ways of using the habanero for our own person cuisine, but keep in mind some to those heat statistics above. You don't want to accidentally get the juice from these peppers anywhere near your face or eyes. Recently I got a dose of habanero juice under my thumb nail, and it burned for three days no matter how much I washed it off. So be careful, and we'll have some fun. Don't and possible side effects might occur.

Bajan Chicken

*3 fresh Habanero chiles, stems & seeds removed, finely chopped

*1 tablespoon Caribbean-style Habanero sauce (I like Trinidad or Inner Beauty)

*4 chicken breasts, skin removed

*6 green onions, finely chopped, including tops

*3 cloves garlic, minced

*2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice

*2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (I substituted cilantro)

*1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (Because of a personal anti-clove bias, I substituted cinnamon; thanks to my dentist father, cloves remind me of stinky tooth decay ...)

*1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

*1 egg

*1 tablespoon soy sauce

*Flour for dredging

*3 cups dry breadcrumbs

*Vegetable oil for frying

Combine the chiles, green onions, garlic, lime juice, parsley or cilantro, cloves (or cinnamon) and ground pepper. Cut deep gashes in the chicken and fill with the mixture. Secure open end with a toothpick to keep the stuffing from falling out.

Beat the egg and combine with the soy sauce and pepper sauce. Lightly dust the chicken with flour, dip in the egg mixture and roll in the bread crumbs.

Apricot-Habanero Barbecue Sauce

You want to do this sauce over and over again.
A fruity sweetness, a rich vegetable aroma, and a dash of habanero makes this sauce just perfect for salmon, halibut, and catfish. Try this with poultry and pork too.

*2 cloves garlic

*corn or canola oil

*1 yellow bell pepper, roasted, peeled, and seeded

Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, or until the apricots are soft. Pour into a food processor. Season with mustard powder, habanero, and salt while processing to a smooth sauce. (Serves 4)

Spicy Island Hot Sauce

Combine all ingredients in blender and puree just until smooth (do not over-blend and aerate). Pour into saucepan & bring to boil, simmer gently, uncovered for about 10 min. Remove from heat & allow to cool before bottling. Refrigerate, Sauce will keep approx. 6 weeks. Makes 2 cups.

Enjoy.

Jamaica is an island nation located in the Caribbean Sea, to the south of Cuba and west of the island of Hispaniola (which contains Haiti and the Dominican Republic). The island nation was a British colony from 1655 (when General Robert Venables seized the island from the Spanish) until 1962, and is today the most populous English-speaking island in the Caribbean. Jamaica is well known for its culture especially popular music and literature, and also has developed a highly distinctive (and tasty!) style of cuisine.

Jamaican cuisine is perhaps known for its use of spices. In particular, pimento (also known as "pimenta", "allspice" or "Jamaica pepper"), and annatto (a spice that tastes like pepper with a hint of nutmeg and comes from pulp surrounding the fruit of achiote trees), play an important part in many dishes.

Another unusual ingredient in Jamaican cuisine is ackee (also sometimes spelled "akee" or "achee") which is a kind of fruit, which is boiled and then sautéed with salted fish (cod), tomatoes, onions and peppers. Great care must be taken to prepare ackee properly, because if this is not done correctly there is actually a risk of poisoning!

There are a great variety of other interesting Jamaican recipes, some of which you may have heard of, including:

- Jerk dishes for example are meats prepared in by rubbing with a spicy marinade and then cooked over a grill or in an oven (traditionally they were smoked by nowadays this is less common that it once was).

- Curried goat is goat meat cooked in a spicy sauce.

- Rice and peas consists of rice cooked with coconut milk, herbs and flavorings and mixed with legumes such as kidney beans.

Does that sound appetizing? If so, why not get yourself a Jamaican cookbook and give these dishes a try - they could make a refreshing change at meal times!

The History of Barbecue Sauce

!±8± The History of Barbecue Sauce

While the origins of the barbecue probably go back to the Stone Age, the beginnings of the barbecue sauce are likely to be closer to the times we live in. Food historians trace the use of barbecue sauce to America in the 1600s, from where it possibly spread to Europe over the next two centuries. The sauce varied, and still does vary from the watery to a very thick consistency. Today, it is usually applied to meat after cooking or during the process of grilling.

Some sources claim that Christopher Columbus brought the sauce back from the Caribbean Islands. Whatever its origin, the sauce was most likely used to mask the gamy flavors in the meats that were foreign and unpleasant to the colonial settlers in America. Several literary texts of the 16th and 17th centuries refer to the sauce, indicating that it increased in usage and gained currency in the period.

The first commercially produced barbecue sauce was made by the Louis Maull Co. in 1923, but the sauce was nationally distributed only almost two decades later, when Heinz released it commercially.

From then on, many supermarket chains and regional restaurants started to market their own brands of barbecue sauce, so much so that regional differences in sauce flavors and preparations were taken into account. Barbecue sauces today are big business. They line the shelves in the supermarkets and gourmet shops and can be brought online as well. The burgeoning packaged food industry today has a vast variety of barbecue sauces, with flavors ranging from the molasses flavored Kansas City sauce to the ketchup and brown sugar laced Georgia specialty to the mustard based North Carolina sauce.

While the barbecue sauce is mostly a mixture of garlic, herbs, tomatoes, vinegar, and spices in different proportions, sauces have now moved to include global flavors. Typical sauces now have added agents like soy sauce and honey to throw up an Asian or teriyaki sauce. Other varieties use Jamaican jerk flavorings to conjure up creations with a Caribbean flavor.

Today, there are as many varieties and flavors of barbecue sauces as there are cooks. While some grillers swear by the store bought sauce, others prepare the concoctions themselves, in some cases holding the recipes as closely-guarded secrets.

Whatever the ingredients or the methods of preparation, the barbecue sauce remains the one element that can make or mar the outcome of your grilling experience. So whatever may be the food that you grill, pick your sauce carefully for that sumptuous meal.

The Only Jerk You'll Ever Love!

!±8± The Only Jerk You'll Ever Love!

As Americans continue to enjoy the warm, tropical weather of the Caribbean and discover the exotic flavors associated with it, "jerk" is becoming more familiar as a word associated with grilling than as a derogatory term. Extremely spicy and uniquely Jamaican it's said that a good jerk is powerful enough to raise the dead.
Historically, the authentic method of jerking has been credited to the Arawak Indians. These native islanders lived in the rugged mountains of Jamaica and hunted wild boar. Portions of meat were highly seasoned with peppers & spices and cooked slowly over a fire pit of smoking pimento wood. Jerk was an option to salt curing which also helped to prevent spoilage in the tropical heat.
Today in Jamaica, smoke-filled shacks dot the highways selling mouth-watering grilled meats seasoned with jerk sauce. Chicken has become even more popular than pork and the outdoor jerk pan or flame grill is a favorite eating spot in every town. Closer to home, jerk is becoming common table fare by chefs introducing it on local menus and by fiery food lovers who have become converts upon tasting this scrumptious array of spice and heat.
While plenty of recipes can be found online for making your own jerk seasoning, you might want to skip all the fuss and consider trying one of the commercial jerk sauces available at Cosmic Chile. This online catalog offers a large selection of Jamaican sauces, perfect for adding irresistible flavor and tropical island heat to whatever you eat.
