JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN FINGERS

JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN FINGERS

 

A lower fat version than the usual jerk chicken.  By eliminating the salt, this becomes quite a healthful recipe.

 

2 lb               boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips or left whole

¼ cup           orange juice

¼ cup           lime juice

3 T               sugar

2 T               onion powder

2 T               crushed thyme

1 T + 1 t       ground red pepper

1 T + 1 t       black pepper

1½ T            allspice

1 T               salt  (can be reduced or eliminated if desired)

1½ t             nutmeg

1 t                ground cloves

 

Lay strips of chicken in a baking dish and pour juice over top.

Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

 

In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients.  Sprinkle over chicken.  

Marinate 1 hour.

 

Over a medium hot grill, lay out chicken and grill on both sides for about 1 hour or until done.

 

Yield: 6 servings
