JERK CHICKEN

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped green onion
  • 1/4 cup bottled salt free zesty garlic herb marinade
  • 2 Tablespoons sweetened lime juice
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons seafood-boil mix
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 8 pieces bone-in chicken drumsticks and thighs, skinned and trimmed of fat

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine the green onions, marinade, lime juice, oil, seasoning mix, allspice, and ginger in a blender and puree. Set aside ¼ cup of the marinade for basting, cover and refrigerate.

2. Pour the remainder into a zip-top plastic bag, add the chicken, seal, and turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight, turning the bag once or twice.

3.Prepare a grill for barbecuing or preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the chicken from the marinade, draining off the excess, and grill, covered, or broil until charred in spots, about 10 minutes.

4. Turn and transfer the chicken to a cooler part of the grill, or turn it over on the baking sheet, and brush with reserved marinade. Cover and grill or broil until it is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Serve hot with a side of corn.
