Grilledjamaicanjerkeddrumsticks Recipes

Steps:

• Bring wine, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan.
• Reduce heat, and simmer until mixture has thickened to the consistency of honey, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Let cool.
• Using a sharp knife, make three diagonal slashes through the skin and flesh on both sides of each drumstick (this will help the flavors permeate the meat).
• Preheat grill to medium-low. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 7 seconds.)
• Place drumsticks on grill, and brush with sauce.
• Close cover, and grill 4 minutes.
• Flip chicken, and brush with sauce.
• Continue to cook, flipping and brushing with sauce every 4 to 5 minutes, until cooked through, about 20 minutes total.
• Season with salt.

Steps:

• Combine the chile, scallions, thyme, vegetable oil, brown sugar, vinegar, allspice and cloves in a large bowl and mix until the sugar dissolves. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the chicken and massage the marinade into the meat, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Oil the grates. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any large pieces of chile or scallion. Season all over with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, turning often, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Process onions, jalapeno, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, sugar and allspice in a food processor until smooth. Whisk juice, vinegar and soy sauce in a large measuring cup. Add juice mixture to food processor while motor is running; blend.
• Place chicken in 2 large ziplock bags. Divide juerk mixture between bags and tightly seal. Turn several times to coat drumsticks. Place in refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat grill to medium. Remove chicken and pat dry. Pour marinade into small pan and bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
• Grill chicken turning and brushing often with jerk mixture until done.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for high indirect heat (for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off; for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side); oil grate. Bring garlic, lemongrass, sugar, vinegar, red pepper flakes, cumin, black pepper, and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally, and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 8 minutes. Let cool and stir in fish sauce. Transfer half of sauce to a small bowl and set aside for serving.
• Season chicken with salt. Place over indirect heat and cover grill with vent open (if you have one) and positioned over chicken. Grill, turning once or twice, until skin is browned and crisp and meat is nearly cooked through, 25-30 minutes. Uncover and move chicken to hotter part of grill. Continue to grill, turning often and basting with remaining sauce, until lacquered and lightly charred in places, 6-8 minutes longer. Serve with reserved sauce alongside.
