Jerk chicken with pineapple salad topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breast halves with skin and bones (220 g each)
- 1 and 1/4 tbsp. Jamaican jerk sauce
- 4 cups coleslaw mix
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp toasted salted cashews, chopped
- 2 tbsp. cilantro leaves, chopped
- Juice of half a lemon
- A quarter of a pineapple, diced (remove the core)
- 2 cups hot white rice, for serving
- Vegetable oil to grease the grill grate
Preparation:
- Preheat your outdoor grill by setting up direct and indirect heat zones.
- Brush the grill grate with vegetable oil. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Grill over direct heat until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a large bowl filled with 1 cup Jamaican jerk sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- Return the chicken to the grill over indirect heat, cover, and cook, basting once with the remaining sauce, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken back to the grill, skin side down, and cook until lightly charred, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in another large bowl, combine the cabbage mixture, mayonnaise, cashews, cilantro, lemon juice, and pineapple. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir.
- Serve jerk chicken with pineapple-cabbage salad and warm rice.
