Gran Luchito Mexican Jerk Chicken

We love jerk chicken, and we had a sneaky suspicion that it might just work with Gran Luchito. In this recipe we've replaced the scotch bonnet chilies with our smoked chilli paste, to give a slightly milder, but equally delicious result.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken legs & thighs
  • 1 tbsp allspice, powder
  • 1 tbsp black peppercorns
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch spring onions
  • 1 tbsp Gran Luchito Smoked Chilli Paste, go for 2 tbsps if you want a bit more heat
  • 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 lime, juice

Method

Step 1

Add everything apart from the chicken to a food processor (cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, spring onions and Gran Luchito Smoked Chilli Paste, sugar, salt, soy sauce and lime juice.)

Step 2

Pour this over the chicken and massage in as much as possible (putting it all into a freezer bag is the easiest way).

Step 3

Leave covered in the fridge for as long as possible (preferably overnight).

Step 4

You can cook this on the BBQ or in a griddle pan on the hob. BBQ will give you a more authentic smoky 
flavour, but remember the smoky flavour of Gran Luchito will give you this too.

Step 5

Cook through and finish in the oven. Don't worry too much if the skin gets slightly blackened.

Step 6

Serve with your favourite salad and cold beer.
