Jamaican Pineapple Jerk Chicken Strategy Guide
Step 1: Clean the Ingredients
- Fill the water basin in the center of the screen.
- Individually place each of the five ingredients — chicken leg, lemon, thyme, onion, avocado — into the water.
- Scrub each ingredient by sliding your finger up and down until fully clean, then return it to its original plate.
Step 2: Chop the Vegetables
- Place the pineapple on the cutting board. Slide horizontally to cut off the leafy top, then vertically to remove the skin.
- Return the cleaned pineapple to its plate.
- Place the avocado on the board. Rotate the knife clockwise around the seed to split it in half.
- Discard the avocado seed into the trash bin.
- Finely chop bird’s eye chili, ginger, basil, and cilantro, then return them to their plates.
- Dice the pineapple, avocado, lemon, and onion, placing them back onto their respective plates.
Step 3: Prepare the Marinade
- Add onion, thyme, minced ginger, chopped cilantro, and chili into the blender.
- Use a spoon to scoop in one portion of sauce and one portion of sugar.
- Cover and blend until smooth.
- Pour the marinade into a plastic bag, add the chicken leg, and tie the bag closed.
- Wait overnight (until the moon rises and sets) for the chicken to marinate thoroughly.
Step 4: Grill the Chicken
- Use the torch to light the coals in the grill, add the bar rack and grill grate.
- Place the marinated chicken leg onto the grill, discard the plastic bag.
- When the chicken starts smoking, use tongs to flip it over.
- Once both sides are grilled, remove with tongs and place on a plate.
Step 5: Prepare the Side Salad
- Place all ingredients except the lemon into the wooden bowl.
- Use the tongs to squeeze lemon juice from the slices into the bowl.
- Use the grater above the bowl and rub a whole lemon against it by moving your finger left and right.
- Stir everything together with a wooden spatula in a clockwise motion until evenly mixed.
Step 6: Plate the Dish
- Transfer the salad onto a rectangular plate.
- Use the tongs to place the grilled chicken leg beside the salad.
- Garnish with thyme, basil, and extra lemon.
- Fill both wine glasses with wine.
Done — enjoy your Caribbean-style feast!
