Serves 10
Neneh and Andi cook up a classic jerk chicken with a tangy twist.
Method
-
Place all the ingredients, except the chicken pieces, into a large bowl and mix well. Place the chicken pieces into the marinade and cover with cling film. Leave to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour, preferably overnight.
-
When you are ready to cook the chicken, prepare a barbecue grill, allowing the flames to die out before you begin cooking.
-
Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and place straight onto the barbecue grill. Turn and baste them regularly with the marinade for about 40-50 minutes, or until completely cooked through and ready to serve.
