Method
Marinating Chicken
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix jerk seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and salt. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Slow Cook the Chicken
Place the marinated chicken in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Frying Plantains
Prepare and Fry Plantains
Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Making Spiced Mayo
Mix Spiced Mayo
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.
