Recipe:
Beer Jerk Chicken
The spice in jerk chicken traditionally comes from a dry rub, but we make more of a marinade with a beer-base. But don't think that because we've added a refreshing brew to the mix that the heat suffers. Chocolate Maple Porter (or any rich porter in its place) curbs a tiny bit of the spice and adds a great roasty flavor, but this recipe still packs plenty of heat thanks to the scotch bonnet peppers, ginger and garlic among a long list of other spices.
What You Need
- 1/2 cup porter (we used Chocolate Maple Porter)
- 2 hot peppers (scotch bonnet if possible)
- bunch scallions, coarsely chopped
- 3 shallots
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 piece ginger
- 3 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons allspice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- juice of 1 lime
What You Do
- Blend all ingredients in food processor to combine.
- Marinate chicken overnight in zip-lock bag.
- Roast skin side up at 450 degrees F for 25-30 minutes. Broil until skin is crisp (about 3 minutes).
