Jerk chicken and beans n rice

Simcan

Inspired by a buddy's cook I bought a few chicken legs and marinated them for several hours (next time I will do it overnight) in a combination of this jerk marinade and this Habanero hot sauce.


Then onto a soaked cedar plank and into the Egg at around 300 (with apple wood chunks for smoke).


After about two hours they were smelling really good, so I started glazing with extra marinade/hot sauce:


When they looked done (more like when I needed to eat or fall down), I pulled them like this: 


And I served them up with some rice and beans (onions, garlic and thyme, sauteed with a sort-of-creole mix I made (OP/GP/cayenne/oregano/thyme/pepper),  and then mixed with rice and drained red kidney beans, toasted for a while before adding a can of coconut milk and chicken stock).  A few wedges of lime and we had a very tasty dinner.

Next time I will marinate longer and use more hot sauce.  It was damn good but I wanted more heat and for the flavour to penetrate the bird more.

That looks awesome.  I've never planked chicken leg quarters -- salmon, yes; shrimp, yes.  I'll definitely try that when I've got the time to invest!  I'd probably do it with my go-to jerk seasoning -- Walkerswood.  Can't be beat for serious jerk heat.

Love Jerk! 

My want to check out this site for next time. No personal interest here.

Jamaicans say it ain't Jerk unless smoke with pimento.

Awesome looking meal.  Will have to give this a try.
