    Some jerk chicken for tea tonight.


    Do you eat Tea, Dinner, and Supper?

    Those wings look amazing.  Jerk chicken is a favorite of mine.  Walkerswood?
    Thighs not wings, our chickens are smaller than yours! Jerk paste was home made, I love jerk chicken too.

    Dinner is at lunch time and tea is at dinner time. No supper, maybe a snack.

    For those keeping score, I got three strikes in one post 🤣

    Do you have a recipie for the jerk sauce you like?  In my state, finding Scotch Bonnets is difficult and I have not found a substitute I like as much, so Walkerswood works for me, but it tends to be saltier than I prefer.

    You could try looking for some in the jerk store.  I heard that they called, and they're looking for more of you.

    I grow my own scotch bonnets and have a jar of fermented chilli paste in the fridge to use for things like this.

    I loosely use this recipe, although measuring isn't really my thing. His liquid quantities are very high, I just use enough soy / vinegar to make it come together in the blender. I don't marinade either, I like the skin crisp and that's hard to do without really burning the paste. I usually do direct (but off the hot coals) skin up with S&P and hickory chips. When nearly done, turn over so skin down over the hot coals. Put paste on the underside while the skin gets a char. Turn over to cook the paste on the underside and apply paste to the crisp skin, then turn again to finish.

    Are these smoked? Or is the color just from the ingredients?
    @SciAggie , no smoke just the Adobo I use, these were just stuffed and darkened up even more overnight ...same recipe I use on my snack sticks minus ECA ( and the Italian parsley I had as I did Italian as welll )

    @JohnInCarolina @oz@Ozzie_Isaac thank you

    Thanks Eoin, I screen printed this recipe. As it happens I grew Scotch Bonnets last year and have a couple of quart bags or so. Finding fresh thyme might be a little difficult, dried might have to do.

  • @SonVolt: Awesome. I had the same experience with a nice Moen I inherited as part of the purchase of my last house. In the decade we were there, Moen would send us all manner of parts and cartridges.

    We have 2 at home at the moment, quantities increase significantly when the other 2 are around. William has a permanent residential placement now, so we visit him and he doesn't come home. Alastair, who was recently at university, is doing a year as an intern at a boarding school and may be back at university next year to do postgrad study.

    He used to have a show a couple decades ago on US tv. It was a daytime celebrity guest chat and cook sort of thing. I only saw it a few times. I think it only lasted a year or so.
    As far as I know none of his more recent work is shown on our shores.
