No, it's not that! It's what was for dinner tonight. I made Jamaican Style Jerk Chicken.

The marinade

IN a water bath, the initial marinade is done with enough cold water to cover the thighs. In the marinade, you use Adolph meat tenderizer, 1/2 cup Jamaican Banana Rum, and seasoned sea salt. Soak at least 4 hrs i the marinade, 8 hours is better.

The rub:

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
* 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
* 1 teaspoon curry powder
* 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
* 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Rub it on the chicken thighs, and grill the chicken over a medium hot charcoal fire and use the grill lid to trap the smoke and heat, turning frequently to prevent scorching of the skin. Cook to an internal temperature of at least 165F.

and the finished product!

mine is very similar, but lots of fresh ginger, a Mango or Papaya and it is sacrilege not to use Habanero peppers :D I use 3-5 depending on how hot I want it. It is also great on pork ribs and chops. Fresh onion and garlic too I almost forgot and a bit of oil. when it is done soaking cook the remaining marinade down add a little sugar if needed and use for dipping.
Oh and don't rub your eyes after eating :D

If I was cooking just for myself, I'd have used either Habanero or ground, smoke dried chipotle peppers, myself. Unfortunately, the wife doesn't like fire, just a bit of smoke.
