I'm all for simplicity ...
I'm all for authenticity ...
I'm of the belief that all these "authentic" recipes are actually simple rustic, low-brow food cooked simply, over simple flame by regular people for regular people.
Recipe lists as long as you arm, methods which read like a Haynes manual, nah ... not for me.
I stumbled over a simple preparation which happens to be quite simply, Jerk Chicken ...
I have a glut of chicken wings, so chopped into mini-drumstick, wing and tip, I simply marinated it in my jerk seasoning for a couple of hours.
Jerk Seasoning
Scotch Bonnet Peppers
Scallions/Spring Onions
Fresh Thyme
Sea Salt
Black Pepper
Allspice
Amounts, I'm unsure, but blend a bunch of spring onions with a couple of Scotch Bonnet peppers, a handful of fresh thyme, then add in the salt, pepper and Allspice.
Done.
Yes, done.
... as in that's all, folks.
Jerk Chicken
So, we have chicken and we have the seasoning, so slop a load of the seasoning into a bowl with the chicken pieces and massage together.
Leave it a couple of hours, then pop into an oven spread out on a tray at, say, 180C and let it go for 30-40 minutes.
Here's fun ...
Leave the tips in for another hour!
The tips will dry out and you can eat them whole, bones and all ... it'll just crunch away. Easy. The rest, of course, you eat after 30-40 minutes.
Yum! I wolfed it down without any thought for you guys, so sorry ... no picture.
