Ingredients

  • JERK CHICKEN

    • 1 - 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tsp ground allspice
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
    • 1/4 tsp sage
    • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
    • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
    • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • MANGO SALSA

    • 1 large mango, peeled, pitted and diced
    • 1/2 jalapeno, seeded and diced
    • 1/2 red onion, diced
    • 1/4 c cilantro, chopped
    • Juice of 1/2 lime
    • Salt, to taste

Instructions

Step 1

Combine chicken thighs, olive oil and spices in a large bowl and toss to coat well. Place in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Step 2

Preheat the grill to 400 degrees. Carefully grease the grates with olive oil. Grill the chicken thighs for 7 minutes per side or until cooked through and a thermometer registers 165 degrees. Set aside to rest.

Step 3

Meanwhile, place plantains onto a cutting board, slice off both ends, make a slit lengthwise and remove the skin. Use a mandolin or knife to slice into 1-inch diagonal slices.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a cast iron or a heavy bottomed skillet. In batches, add plantain slices and cook until deep golden brown (2-4 minutes per side). Remove from oil and place onto a paper towel-lined tray to drain and season with salt. Continue with the remaining batch.

Step 5

Place all mango salsa ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 6

Serve the chicken thighs over rice (we recommend our Coconut Rice) topped with mango salsa and fried plantain on the side.
