Ingredients

  • 4 chicken marylands 
Jerk marinade
  • ¼ cup fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tbsp dried
  • 4 Scotch bonnet chili peppers, stems removed 
  • 2 shallots, peeled and halved
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 5 cm fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 2 tbsp ground allspice
  • 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 8 spring onions, white and green parts
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • Generous pinch salt 
  • ⅛ tsp liquid smoke
  • 2 tbs vegetable oil, for searing
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • Lime, to serve
Marinating time: 6 hours

Instructions

  1. Score the chicken marylands to the bone and add to a large bowl.
  2. Blitz all of the marinade ingredients in a food processor until it forms a smooth paste. Massage the paste into the chicken, wearing gloves if possible as Scotch bonnets are hot. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours, ideally overnight or up to 2 days.
  3. Bring chicken up to room temperature before cooking. Preheat your oven to 170°C.
  4. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of vegetable oil to the pan before adding the chicken skin side down. Season with salt and a pinch of allspice on both sides. Grill for a few minutes on both sides so that the skin has begun to char. Transfer to a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, basting with the marinade every 10 minutes.
  5. Serve with a fresh wedge of lime on the side.
