Martha’s Jerk Chicken, From the article – Scotch bonnet and habanero chiles are native to the Caribbean and are extremely hot Scotch bonnets are traditional, but you can use habaneros, which are similar and easier to find Use fewer or more, according to your taste Protect your hands by wearing gloves when cutting the peppers and when rubbing the chicken with marinade Plan ahead so the chicken can marinate overnight; allowing it to come to room temperature before grilling makes for faster and more even cooking Prep time does not included overnight marinading Posted for ZWT 5 , Very nice, alligirl! Love the peppers with the chicken We had this during football last week Made for football pool, week 4, 2009 , This is exactly what I love, and exactly what I am looking for when I am looking for jerk anything I followed this exactly, taking almost 2 days to let all the ingredients marinate and adjust to each other I didn’t skimp on the scotch bonnets and kept true to the recipe This produces an enormously delicious, juicy, highly spiced (but *not* hot) chicken The only change I made was to halve the recipe, and was able to do so easily This is not hard at all do put together, but just hard to allow it time to seduce the chicken and the marinade together whilst you wait 🙂 Loved it! Perfect for a hot summer day! Made for your win in *Everyday is a Holiday* August 2009
