 JERK CHICKEN

Hey, hey peeps, I hope everyone is doing fantastic! I just realised I hadn't posted for months and decided to do something today! are we ready for what is cooking? It's been years i did something related to food and i think i must do stuff related to food often to get a balance. 

Today jerk chicken is what is cooking on the menu. A chef friend of mine made this during a get together two years ago and I haven't recovered from how amazing it tastes.

So, for the ingredients you need;

• 1 medium onion
• medium chopped scallions
• 2  chopped scotch bonnet chiles
• 2chopped garlic cloves
• 1 tablespooon five-spices powder (you can substitute with badia seasoning
• 1 tablespoon coarsely ground allspice berries
• 1 tablespoon coarsely ground pepper
• dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• cut pieces of chicken
• a drop of white wine

DIRECTIONS

• Combine onion, scallions, chiles, garlic, 5 spice powder or badia complete seasoning, pepper, thyme, nutmeg and salt; put in a blender, blend to a coarse paste.
•  Add soy sauce, oil and drop of white wine and blend for a short while.
•  Pour the marinade into a large dish and drop and turn each piece of chicken till it's coated with the paste. Cover and refrigerate for hours. if possible leave it in the fridge overnight.
• When you take the chicken out, leave it till room termperature.
• Light a grill, oven. I'll prefer grill because it does the job best. Grill chicken over medium hot fire while turning occasionally until well browned and cooked. 
• To get a smoky flavour, cover the grill and cook for about 35-40 minutes, depending on the level of fire being used.
• Remove your chicken and dish out with your drinks or jollof.

Yummy yummy, isn't it? If you don't get it the first time, keep trying till you get your desired results.
