ingredients: 

4 chicken thighs and 4 chicken drumsticks

1 bottle of 142ml Encona Jamaican Jerk BBQ Sauce

1 tbsp parsley, chopped

 

For the rice:

200g long grain rice, soaked for 10 minutes then rinsed and drained

1 onion, finely chopped

400ml coconut milk

300ml chicken stock

1 tin of red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

3 bay leaves

1 lemon grass stalk, root slightly crushed

Salt and milled black pepper

  • Wash and dry the chicken pieces. Make 3-4 slashes across the skin-side of the chicken about 1cm deep. Place the chicken into a bowl and pour over the Encona Jamaican Jerk BBQ Sauce, chopped parsley and mix well.
  • Cover the chicken with cling-film and Ideally leave to marinate overnight in the fridge or for a minimum of 2 hours.
  • Cook the chicken over a medium heated barbecue or under a grill for 25-30 minutes, occasionally and brushing with any left over marinade.
  • Meanwhile, to make the rice, add the onion, coconut milk, chicken stock, bay leaves and lemon grass to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the rice and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • After 15 minutes add the red kidney beans, parsley and season with salt and pepper. When the rice has softened, transfer to a serving bowl and serve with the Jerk chicken. Enjoy!
