Maybe I'll use cilantro tonight?
The Weber charcoal grill is a must for jerk chicken.
Chicken drumsticks were marinated in Penzey's Spice Jerk mix, lemon juice, canola oil and honey. Veggies are prepped for the dirty rice. (Sorry, no pre-cooked chicken picture. Raw chicken and my iphone don't mix.)
My lovely wife hard at work on the dirty rice. She is a saint for cleaning up after me. It's worth it though :-)
Apple and hickory wood chips moistened and ready to go.
Smokin'!!!! Time for a drink. Rum and cokes go well with jerk chicken, right?
I tried a mixture of mustard, oil and the jerk spice mix on 2 drumsticks for kicks.
Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before shredding and tossing with dirty rice. I also mixed the rice and sautéed veggies at this point and scrambled in 2 eggs.
The finished product. Where the cilantro finally came into play along with some Tabasco sauce.
As you my gather, the only recipe used in this dish was that of the Zatarain's dirty rice mix. I try to never go by a recipe whenever possible. Like tonight's dish, most of my creations are first timers fresh from my mind. Over time, some of my dishes have become or are becoming staples in my kitchen. With those dishes, I will try and be more informative on the cooking process. Nosh on!
