Jamaican jerk chicken

The cook, step by step.

1. 1

   Step 1

   Done

   Remove the chicken legs from their packaging and pat them completely dry with kitchen paper. Make 1 cut down to the bone in each leg so the marinade can penetrate the meat.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Done

   Then chop the spring onion, shallot, garlic and habanero pepper into coarse pieces and put it together with all other ingredients in the blender. Then puree this until a smooth marinade develops. If the marinade is still a little too thick after adding 8 tablespoons of sunflower oil then add some more.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Done

   Then put the marinade together with the chicken legs in the ziplock/sealable bag and mix it well so that the marinad has the ability to get to all places of the chicken. Then place the ziplock bag with contents in the refrigerator and let marinate for at least 4 hours and optimally 12 hours. Occasionally turn the ziplock bag in the fridge so that the marinade also marinates the other pieces well.

   Step 4

   Done

   Then get your BBQ ready for a direct preparation above the fire and go if you have a thermometer for a dome temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. So we're gonna grill the chicken legs. Note this process is that you keep them running properly and make them grill for about 20 minutes. In those 20 minutes, they must have been cooked. If you have a core thermometer at your disposal, assume 72 degrees of internal temperature. Then you're sure they were cooked. Bon appetit!
