Best Ever Jerk Chicken
"It’s the complex island spicing and levels of flavour that keep jerk chicken at the top of the popularity list. I’ve come up with an express route to an authentic flavour- charged chicken that doesn't blow the top off your head off with fieriness nor does it have the harness that sometimes comes from a spice rub. Simply throw everything into a food processor and whiz away. This takes less than 5 minutes. Because of the marinade, jerk chicken can look dark and blah - so be sure to have lots of coriander or green onions for scattering over the finished chicken...."
