Jerk Chicken and Rice

Step 1

Into a blender add all our vegetables along with the seasonings. Blend until smooth.

Step 2

If it gets stuck and isn't blending, add some oil to loosen it up until you are able to blend it.

Step 3

Reserve 4 tbsp of the marinade and set aside for later.

Step 4

Add the remaining marinade to your washed chicken quarters. Make sure to rub in the marinade under the skin. Let this marinate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

Step 5

Air fry at 350F for 25 minutes, flipping half way through or bake in the oven at 400F over a wire rack for 30 minutes flipping halfway through. After the 20 minute mark I would recommend checking to make sure they aren't browning too much.

Step 6

Add washed rice along with the remaining ingredients into a rice cooker. Since I have a rice cooker with a brown rice setting, this was the amount of chicken stock that allowed me to reach the perfect setting. Adjust this according to your own rice cooker.

Step 7

Add jerk marinade into a pan along with soy sauce and worcestershire sauce.

Step 8

Make a corn starch slurry with the water and corn starch then add it to the pan over medium heat then stir until thickens. Pour this on top of the chicken when cooked.
