CAYMANIAN-STYLE JERK CHICKEN

Jerk is a style of cooking originally from Jamaica, but it is popular all over the Caribbean. Jerk seasoning, or Jamaican jerk season, is a dry or wet seasoning, typically a blend of chile peppers, garlic, onions, spices (allspice, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and pepper) and herbs, like thyme. Traditionally, jerk meat is marinated in spices and slow-cooked on green pimiento wood over hot coals. My version is inspired by a family trip to Grand Cayman Island, where I was able to learn from one of the masters, Chef Luigi Moacsin. It takes inspiration from the original, but can be made on a standard outdoor grill or a grill pan indoors.

Steps:

  • In a food processor, place the seasoning and Scotch bonnet peppers, garlic and scallions and process until chunky. Add the ground allspice, brown sugar, thyme, allspice berries, cinnamon and nutmeg, then process. Add the juice, olive oil, soy sauce, black pepper and 1 tablespoon salt and process until a thick paste is formed, clingy enough to stick to the back of a spoon. (If it's too thick, thin with more soy sauce.)
  • Scrape half of the paste into a large shallow dish with a lid. Add the chicken and top with the remaining paste. Spread the paste, making sure each piece of chicken gets a little attention. Cover and marinate in the fridge overnight, up to 24 hours.
  • Prepare the grill with one hot and one unheated side. This works best on a charcoal grill or a gas grill with one burner turned off.
  • Oil the grill grates liberally with the vegetable oil. Place the chicken skin-side up on the cool side of the grill and close the lid.
  • Grill, rotating the pieces every 10 minutes to ensure even exposure to the hot side of the grill, until the breasts register 165 degrees F and the thighs register 170 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes for the breasts and 30 to 35 minutes for the thighs. Move the chicken to the hot side of the grill, flip it skin-side down, and grill until the skin is charred and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with some good ol' white bread (or classic hard dough bread, if you can find it!) from the bag and ketchup to dunk it.

10 seasoning peppers or mini multicolored bell peppers
2 to 3 Scotch bonnet peppers (or up to 6, depending on how spicy you like it)
8 cloves garlic
2 bunches scallions, chopped
1/2 cup ground allspice
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon whole allspice berries
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup orange or pineapple juice (fresh is great, but bottled is fine)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce, or more as needed
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
One 5- to 6-pound chicken, cut into quarters (leg/thigh and breast/wing)
Vegetable oil, for greasing
Sliced hard dough bread or white bread, to serve
Ketchup, to serve

Steps:

  • Season chicken lightly.
  • Boil until done and then cool enough to debone.
  • Place the chicken in an ungreased 9 x 13 pan.
  • In a blender or food processor, blend cream cheese and soup.
  • Pour cream cheese mixture over the chicken.
  • Melt the butter and pour it over the soup mix.
  • Crush the crackers and sprinkle over chicken mixture to completely cover.
  • Place pats of butter over the crackers.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until bubbly and browned.
  • NOTE: I usually double this recipe especially the cream cheese and soup to make it creamier.
  • I also mix the cream cheese mixture with the chicken because I think it tastes better that way.
  • You may also substitute chicken breasts, leg quarters, etc -- for the whole chicken.
  • I use turkey breasts or leftover Thanksgiving turkey for this also.

CAYMAN ISLANDS CORNBREAD

Adapted from the RSVP section of an old issue of Bon Appetit. This recipe was from a resort in the Cayman Islands. This is a sweeter, more cake-like cornbread and has a bit of rum in it.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a 9-inch square baking pan well.
  • Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Whisk together both types of milk, eggs, butter, rum, and vanilla in another bowl.
  • Combine both mixtures using a wooden spoon, just enough to dampen all ingredients (it will still be a bit lumpy).
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake until golden brown and cake tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
  • Let cool on rack slightly before cutting into 12 small squares.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
