I have pics but they’re on the camera. I’ll get around to uploading them all one of these days. *sighMy DH could not have loved this more. He thought it was out of this world and on a scale of 1-10 he gave it a 10,000. The flavor was wonderful and complex. I am not familiar with jerk seasoning but damn, it was tasty and HOT!.
We didn’t use orange juice as I blanked at the grocery store so we used grapefruit juice that we had at home. They also didn’t have any fresh habeneros at the store so we bought a jar of them and used two. We used chicken breasts this time and we did the finishing sauce on the stove. We paired this with Seana’s coleslaw to cool the heat down a bit. The coleslaw was fantastic and that will be the recipe we use from now on. We cheated and used the bag cabbage ala Frody.
DH scraped up every single drop of extra jerk sauce and put it in the freezer to use with a pork loin. I had to pry the leftovers out of his hands to put in the fridge or he would have eaten a good pound of chicken. He would not change a thing and I usually defer to his opinion when it comes to cooking. I would probably squeeze a few drops of lime on mine just because I love lime.
Thank you weltek and Seana. LOVED it and will be made again and again. This is definitely a recipe that I will pull out when DH has had a bad day and needs to be cheered up. He loved it just that much.
Pics to follow.
Silly story. When we were kids, our parents took us to Jamaica. We passed a restaurant called "The Jerk Center." I asked my middle brother if he worked there. *snert*
