The Story: Can’t stand the heat? Don’t fear. This is our version of the Jamaican staple: we marinate our chickens overnight in a made from scratch jerk rub, with a few less scotch bonnet peppers than the average recipe. After roasting, we baste the chicken in a Maple Jerk BBQ which forms an amazing sweet glaze when you reheat in the oven or on the BBQ at home.
The result – an incredibly flavourful, juicy and mildly spicy Jerk Chicken that is very accessible. We pair our chicken with some roasted plantain for a true taste of the Caribbean tailor made for summer BBQs!
How It Comes: In a oven safe foil tray ready to heat.
Portion: Half chicken serves approximately 1-2 people. Full chicken serves approximately 3-4 people We recommend adding a salad to make it a full meal.
Heating Instructions: Oven: remove lid and preheat oven to 375*F. Cook for 25-30 minutes uncovered or until warmed through. BBQ: Remove chicken from pan and place over direct heat on a BBQ set to 400*F, cook for 10-15 minutes. Remove from direct heat and cook an additional 5-10 minutes on an upper rack or away from flame, until warmed through. Rest for 5 minutes before serving. Meanwhile, place pan on upper rack or off of flame and warm plantains while chicken heats.
