Jerk Chicken

Method

Jerk Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine jerk seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat grill or oven to medium-high heat. Grill or bake the marinated chicken thighs for about 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked, turning occasionally. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Curry Chicken

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

  2. 4

    Add Chicken and Spices

    Add chicken thighs to the skillet and sprinkle curry powder and salt. Cook until chicken is browned on all sides.

  3. 5

    Simmer with Coconut Milk

    Pour in coconut milk, stir well, and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
