Greetings foodies, Yawdies , and hivians all over.
I haven’t been posting much but I’ve been cooking. I made this lovely tray of baked chicken recently as I try out different ways to get the bird tasting just the way I like it.
First , I washed the chicken in vinegar , squeezed a bit of lemon on after.
Then I used my dry rub , Jamaican chicken and all purpose seasonings.
After that I grilled the chicken for 30 minutes in the oven.
While that’s taking place , I made a sauce. It wasn’t planned , I just decided to use what I found in the refrigerator. I found some gungo wine, some white rum, added rosemary, thyme, onions, garlic, sugar , little bit of molasses , some dried scotch bonnet pepper.
Brought this to a boil and then took the chicken from the oven and cooked it in the sauce , pouring it generously over the chicken to ensure even spread and flavor.
Did I mention that I put pieces of fresh lemon and orange in the mix? Well , as you can see from the picture those bad boys made their way in that pot too.
After a few minutes it was back to the oven to bake for another 15-20 minutes.
The end was perfection in flavor. Word to the wise, be careful not to leave in the oven too long after adding your glaze. It could lead to burning because of the added sugar. If you like the recipe, give it a try and let me know how it goes.
