Simple Jerk Chicken Breasts

Just made some really simple chicken breasts with only J Appledog's Jamaican Jerk, extra virgin olive oil, and some shaker parm cheese. I have to admit, I used WAY more than the recommended dosage of jerk on these babies since Cornfed likes his chicken spicy. Grilled at between 250 and 300 for about 40 minutes. The results were VERY GOOD! Very juicy, awesome flavor, and a level of heat that put a couple extra hairs on the proverbial chest.[p]Ah, the simple pleasures,

    Cornfed, that JCA really puts out some great jerks. Try some ground pork burgers sometime if you have her disappearing mustard. Grill the burgers and after you put the meat to the bun, give it a swipe of her mustard. Or even on a pork chop..Great stuff.
    Do a Boston Butt with the Jerk..and like you said, kinda take it easy till you get the taste level set for your levels. And that is doubly true for Walkersford Jamacian Jerk..Whooooooooooo! JCA's lets ya creep up on it.[p]

    Char-Woody,[p]That disappearing mustard is goooooooooooooooood. Haven't used it in a cook yet, but my samples of it plus addition to a regular sandwich have been awesome![p]Cornfed
  • Cornfed, Simple indeed . Doing chicken tonight with basically the same stuff. put the chicken in the jerk about an hour ago. The longer in the jerk the better. Mother-in-law doesn't like it hot so I put her's in last night-hee hee hee--
    Have a great day and hope the weekend is good to you. Char Woody, thanks for all the great words.
    yours in the egg--The Colonel

    Char-Woody,
    Yeah, I used that Walkerswood on a tenderloin, then some jerked jerky. Has quite a kick to it! [p]Had the privelage to meet our own RhumandJerk the other day when the French family came thru the DC area en route to Virginia Beach. Great family!! MikeO (the other Mike) popped by for the short gathering. [p]Anywho, R&J brought me a bottle of that Eatons jerk....which apparently also has quite a punch. Look forward to digging into it! You had that one?? Also ended up with a Mulberry log that I split with MikeO. Thanks Mike![p]Well, time to get to work. Code RED air quality in the Washington area this weekend. Nasty stuff. No daytime egging.[p]Cheers
