Description

Soy, lime, allspice with jalapeno, bay, cinnamon and thyme come together to make a super flavorful marinade for chicken, pork or shrimp.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1  Jalapeno, Seeded And Diced
  • 2  Limes, Juiced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 leaves Bay Leaves
  • 1 Tablespoon Allspice
  • 2 teaspoons Dried Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil

Preparation

Mix everything together (I prefer to combine them in a zip-lock bag) add protein of your choice and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 and up to 24 hours. Grill or broil meat as you want. Dispose of any remaining marinade.

I like to increase the heat by adding a Serrano chili, diced, instead of a jalapeno.

I originally picked up this recipe from Food Network (a recipe by Emeril Lagasse) but over the last few years have made some changes to make it my own.

My husband loves Jerk Chicken and we have a gourmet store nearby that sells really great Jerk Chicken but it’s expensive. A bit too expensive to eat it as often as my family would like. I’ve been looking for a while now for a recipe that I could make that would be as good as the Jerk Chicken from the local gourmet store and I think I’ve finally found it. This was really delicious and my family loved it. I pretty much followed the recipe as written. The only change I made was I added a couple of sliced shallots because most of the jerk recipes I’ve looked at had green onions added and I wanted that flavor in the marinade. I marinated boneless pork steaks for 24 hours and then cooked them on the grill. We like to serve the jerk in wraps with lettuce and tomatoes. It was delicious and my family thought that this recipe was as good as the local gourmet store’s jerk chicken. Mission accomplished! The only thing I might do differently is next time I make it I will cut back on the salt by a teaspoon. Thanks for the great recipe!
