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)
