Stout Jerk Chicken

(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup stout beer
  • 4 Scotch Bonnet or Habanero Peppers
  • 6 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • 3 tbs ponzu sauce
  • 3 tbs brown sugar
  • 1 tsp dry mustard powder
  • 2 tsp Chinese 5 Spice powder
  • 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 3 tbs chopped shallots
  • 1 tbs fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbs honey
  • 1 tsp Kosher or Sea salt
  • 3 lbs chicken wings, legs, thighs

Directions

  1. Add all of the ingredients (other than the chicken) to a food processor and process until smooth, about 2 minutes.

  2. Add chicken to a large Ziplock style bag, pour marinade over the chicken and seal, removing as much air as possible.

  3. Allow to chill and marinate in the fridge for 8-24 hours, rotating about every 3 hours to redistribute the marinate.

  4. eheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and arrange on the sheet, spooning a bit of the remaining marinade over the chicken. Bake at 375 for 18-22 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Baking time will depend on the size of chicken you use. For very small chicken wings, start to check after 12 minutes.
