  • Canola oil

    Jerk Spice Mix:

  • 3 tablespoons ground coriander
  • 3 tablespoons ground ginger
  • 3 tbsp. l. brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder

Preparation:

  1. Jerk Spice Mix: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.

    Habanero Pepper Mint Glaze: In a medium stainless steel saucepan, combine the wine vinegar and sugar. Cook over medium-high heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture has reduced by half and thickened.

    Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and add the habanero pepper and mint. Blend until smooth. Season with salt. Cool the glaze to room temperature.
  2. Jerk Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium or heat a grill pan over medium heat. Rub 1 side of each chicken piece with 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning and drizzle with canola oil.

    Grill, seasoning side down, for 3-4 minutes or until crispy. Brush the chicken with a little of the habanero-mint glaze. Turn the chicken over and continue grilling for 7-8 minutes, or until cooked through. Brush the chicken with more glaze and serve immediately.
