[BamsBBQ]

i forgot to mention that i marinated the chicken in the sauce for about 12-14 hours..came out with a big damn kick..lol

I'd vote for the Bloody Jerk right now but that wouldn't be fair to the rest of the competition. You've raised the bar, now let's see if anyone else can jump that high!

Love the chutney too. I'm going to play with some this year, I promise.

Mmmmm rabbit. +1 Foo foo points for the Escargot. Nice IGG. AJ I can't wait to see what you come up with. I was going to do entry #2 today with some half chickens on the grill/smoker, but I have decided to try my Stone Ruination IPA Mustard Curry sauce on them instead. I have been itching to try that since I first tasted it last Friday. Maybe I will take some pics just for fun.

Hey ya'll. Here is my entry for The Fantabulous 4th of July Jerk Throwdown. Posted earlier was my ingredient list so I will forego reposting that and get right down to 'bidness.

I present to you TB's Notorious Jerk Chicken

I had the chix thighs marinating in the goodness and just before tossing them into the smoker, I started off with a true Alaskan icon to alcoholic fueled mayhem....from bottom to top...Kahlua, Baileys, and Crown Royal..THE DUCKFART! Awesome x 1,000!!

I started off the thighs in the smoker..

While the chix were gettin' down brown, I took plain yogurt, fresno chiles, shallot, garlic, green onion and cilantro and made a kickin' dipping sauce...

After a couple hours in the smoker and two loads of mesquite chips, I transferred to the grill along with pre-blanched greenbeans and fresno chiles....

Stay tuned for the final money shots ya'll...

Cheers, TB.

 

[texas blues]

Here's the money shots ya'll. With and without the Yogurt Cilantro sauce..

The greenbeans and the chiles really set this off..

And one final shot...embrace the goodness ya'll!!

Thus completes entry #1. I have a second for later this eve...and I'll be bringing the typical TB Notoriousnessess...

Cheers, TB.

Umm...ya, that might win it.

Can I join? I'm going to cook some dinner, and it would be nice using my Jerk spices.

Hey! I'm no hobo, I drink good beer. That has to at least upgrade me to transient.

Not as fancy as some of the other dishes, but here's "Omri's Stew for Drunks":

Chicken livers & hearts rubbed with Jerk spice, then slightly roasted, then baked with some Guinness Extra Stout and garlic bread crumbs.

*AT LEAST 30 CHICKENS DIED TO MAKE THIS DISH POSSIBLE*

 

[imaguitargod]

Sorry..my bad. VAGRANT!!

Cheers, TB.

I'll accept that.

Jerked chicken nuts

Alright all those who are jerking it this weekend... Here's some of the new hotness from SumBits. First, a big shout out to the FD4 kitchen for use of the smoker! Now, gettin' down to business...

The teaser ingredient shot didn't make it this post mainly because I went straight into the jerk paste making mode as soon as I got home from the G-store. So instead, here's the list:

Paste (x2):
1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 Tbsp dark rum, 2 Habanero w/seeds
1 red onion, 4 green onion tops
2 Tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp salt (kosher)
2 tsp black pepper, 4 tsp ground allspice
4 tsp ground cinnamon, 4 tsp ground nutmeg
4 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 tsp ground cloves
2 tsp molasses, 1/2 cup lime juice

Combine ingredients and puree.

Ingredients for the meal:
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs marinated 4+hrs w/1 cup jerk paste
2 shucked ripe coconuts split in half

Corse chop the chicken and stuff into half coconut shell as much will fit. It will look like a chicken meatball as such

[Uncooked marinated chicken in coconuts with halved orange habs to be smoked.]

Smoke @ 225F ~4 hrs whilst drinking beer, making "festival" bread and fried yucca for the side.

Note: High Life for scale.

Let cool for ten mins. while making mango salsa topping (fine chop mango, cilantro, bottom of green onion, cider vinegar, salt and olive oil)

Jerked Chicken Nuts!!!
