Ingredients
5/6 chicken pieces
2 tablespoons of Jerk seasoning
splash of oil
Basmati Rice to serve
1 roasting bag
Method
Add the chicken to the roasting bag along with the two tablespoons of jerk seasoning an a splash of oil, Seal the roasting bag and gently rub the jerk seasoning into the chicken, leave for a few hours to marinate. Cook on a low heat cook for 45 minutes always ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly before serving.
Ingredients
6-8 Chicken thighs
Dunns River Hot and Spicy Jerk Chicken fry mix
1 egg or a few tablespoons of milk
Method
Wash and dry chicken, cut into pieces, then dip both sides in whisked egg or milk.Place several tablespoons of Dunn's River Hot & Spicy Jerk Chicken Fry Mix in a plastic kitchen bowl and coated the chicken pieces are evenly.
Deep fry the coated chicken pieces in hot oil for approx 12-15 minutes (if you have a large breast or wing chicken pieces) cook for 20-25 minutes (if drumstick or thigh chicken) or until crisp and golden. Turn the chicken pieces half-way through the cooking. Alternatively for a healthier option, shallow fry for approx 15 minutes until crisp and golden or oven-bake on a lightly greased baking tray at 200°C for 25-30 minutes, turning half way through cooking. Or add a few tablespoons of olive oil and two to three tablespoons of the fry mix in a roasting bag, evenly coat and roast for 35-40 minutes.Ensure chicken is cooked all the way through before serving, and if you like it with a extra hot spicy kick why not serve with Grace Hot Pepper Sauce which is the perfect accompaniment to any dish.
