Jerk chicken

[Mudbeaver]

any suggestions? There’s a lot of recipes out there, a lot seem like they’ll be to hot for the kiddos n wife, and to smoke em or put em on the kettle?

DWCowles has the recipe I use. I don't have it accessible to me right now.

Well, if your chicken is a jerk - cook it quick.

My chickens make me money no grilling for them

Well, jerk chicken is sort of by definition HOT! Maybe try Peruvian?

Lots of good recipes out there. Just don’t make the mistake I did.

I practiced making jerk chicken many times but since scotch bonnets were hard to find, I used jalapeños. Once I had the recipe down I found scotch bonnets in a speciality store and commenced to serve the chicken to a lot of family and friends for a block party. Didn’t even dawn on me that I needed to reduce the quantity of peppers I had been using.
There wasn’t a dry eye or drop of milk left in my house, or even the neighbors, once we started to eat.

I was thinkin of using jalapeños to keep down the heat for the family, they don’t mind spicy, not fans of HOT

[Donw]

jalapeños actually make a nice jerk sauce. I don’t think you would disappointed.

This should be in the Recipes > Chicken channel, not General Discussion.

I’m not really internet savvy, how would I go about moving it?

[Huskee]

No worries Mudbeaver, I moved it. Just try to find the best channel when making new posts to keep things organized Thanks!

That recipe really caught my eye

Check out this recipe from our own Henrik. I made a version of it last week and the sticky glaze balances the heat very well. I substituted cayenne for the fresh peppers and added a few things I found in another recipe. But the glaze portion was really the best part!

I have looked over that recipe and I do not see anything in it that would generate any heat.

[barelfly]

lostclusters I combined two recipes, one from a book I was given. The other recipe was the source of the heat, which I didn’t really depict well in my comment.

Great to hear you like it! And if you want/need more heat, just add your preferred chili pepper to the rub.
