Barbecue by Miss Kristi-Lou
This is my favourite jerk marinade, succulent juicy jerk chicken with a smokey bark from big green egg cooking adding a whole other layer of flavour, this is so far from the jerk marinade in a jar, fresh zingy and vibrant you may never go back!
Ingredients
(serves 4)
Jerk Marinade
2 limes zest and juice
2 tbsp freshly grated ginger
6 tbsp honey
2 tsp fresh chopped thyme
2 tsp ground all spice
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp sea salt
1 habanero finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
4 large skin on chicken breasts
1 lime quartered for serving
Place the chicken in a large bowl, add all the ingredients except the 1 lime for serving and toss well to combine. Leave to marinate for at least 1 hour but over night is so much better for depth of flavour.

Fire up your grill or oven to 200 C / 392 F.
Place the chicken skin side down so that it can creat the bark, after 8-12 minutes start checking the chicken so that the bark does not become burnt, turn the chicken and finish cooking for a further 6 minutes +, (total cooking time 18 minutes). Some maths will be needed here, but hey that’s barbecue!
Remove from the heat and leave to rest for 3 minutes before serving, squeeze over the lime juice and sometimes I like to drizzle a little extra honey.
