Recipe – Big Green Egg Spicy Jerk Chicken
Ingredients
| 6 chicken Maryland pieces |
| 2/3 cup fresh thyme |
| 2/3 cup Scotch bonnets, stem removed |
| 1/4 cup jalapeno, stem removed |
| 6 tbsp ground allspice |
| 5 whole cloves |
| 1 tsp black pepper |
| 1 1/2 tsp coriander powder |
| 1 tsp garlic powder |
| 1 tbsp lemon juice |
| 1 cup extra virgin olive oil |
Directions
Step 1 – In a food processor, combine all spice ingredients and blend. Leave the Jerk Spice with a bit of texture; do not completely emulsify or turn the mix into a puree.
Step 2 – Toss the chicken pieces with enough spice mixture to coat the chicken; this recipe makes a large batch and the extra seasoning can be frozen for later use. Cover the chicken and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
Step 3 – Set the EGG for indirect cooking with the convEGGtor at 350°F/177°C.
Step 4 – Place the chicken skin-side down onto the cooking grid. Roast for 45-60 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C. Serve immediately.
