Please be patient, as this blog is a work in progress. I am actively searching for and adding more recipes so check back frequently and make yourself familiar with the labels/categories below on the right side of the page.

FAUX JERK CHICKEN



Ingredients:
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 scotch bonnet chile pepper, minced
1/4 cup minced green onions with tops
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions:
1. In a large dish, mix the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, sugar, thyme, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir in the scotch bonnet pepper, green onions, and garlic. Pierce chicken on all sides with a fork, and place in the dish. Cover, and marinate up to 24 hours in the refrigerator, turning occasionally. 2. Preheat the grill for high heat. 3. Lightly oil grill grate. Discard marinade, and grill chicken 8 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear.

Note:
This doesn't smell very promising when its being prepared but it earned good reviews from my picky eaters. Don't be too early to judge this, I almost threw it away before cooking it.
