jerk chicken is jamaican and hot

* 1 tbs. allspice, jamaican if you can get it
* 1 tbs. thyme
* 1 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
* 1 1/2 tsp. sage
* 3/4 tsp. nutmeg
* 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
* 2 tbs. salt
* 2 tbs. garlic powder
* 1 tbs. sugar
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 1/4 cup soy sauce
* 3/4 cup white vinegar
* 1/2 cup orange juice
* 1 lime, juiced
* 1 seeded and chopped habanero pepper
* 3 green onions chopped
* 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts


Directions

1. Combine dry ingredients in bowl
2. Whisk in wet ingredients, pepper, and onion
3. Marinate chicken 1 hour or more, I marinate overnight if I can in a glass dish
4. Grill chicken until done you could barbie it serve it with rice and peas :thumbsup:

sorry I have a vine in the garden and freeze my vine leaves, I think you can buy them in Oz in the little deli type shops why don't you use vegetables instead tomatoes and capsicum peppers, courgettes and aubegines with a cinnamon spiced rice and mince mixture with a grated cheese topping

I do use vegatables, we love it, now Jerk chicken, now that is very hot, good for parties to make everybody sweat. :rofl:

Re: Ideas for dinner
 

um yes but they tend to eat it and either run for the water jug or blame you for a night spent on the loo :rofl:

I don't use the habanero chillis much too hot for me I make a milder version which I think is better but some of my friends say its sacrilege and I can't call it jerk chicken :rofl:

Every other week we do spaghetti also to bound your meat ball you don’t need to put the egg in with your mince meat, you can put very small amount of Bicarbonate Soda, it does the same job, & I cook my fish very similar to yours except I put them in eggs first then on to flour, then fry them, very nice the kids just love it.:thumbsup:
