"Very good chicken with a marinade that is different from the usual. This recipe is a lot of work but worth the time it takes. Recipe source: Turtle Bay Cookbook."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

To make the marinade: in a saucepan combine 1 quart of the water with 1/2 tablespoon of the Jamaican jerk spices, ginger and the garlic. Cook over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. remove from heat and let cool. Stir in pineapple juice and the oil. Transfer mixture to a bowl or large plastic bag and add the chicken. Cover or seal and refrigerate for 4 hours.

Step 2

To make the glaze: place the remaining ingredients (tamarind paste - hot sauce) in a food processor or blender (I used a blender) and puree until smooth. (this makes a lot of glaze, but the remainder will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks)

Step 3

To bake the chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 4

Remove chicken from the marinade; discard marinade. Place chicken in a large shallow baking pan (this chicken can also be grilled). Bake for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is done; brushing twice with the glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

I used drumsticks for this recipe and baked for about 15 - 20 minutes and finished it off over a charcoal grill. I did use the tamarind paste and found that it gave it an interesting flavor. I marinated for about 6 hours, but next time I think I will marinade over night. Tasty, interesting grilled chicken ellie and thank you for sharing.

I baked this chicken instead of grilling it, and although the flavor was there, I think it would have been wonderful on the grill. The chicken was so juicy it made it hard for the glaze to stick (which was delicious by the way!). I think cooking on the grill would have allowed the glaze to adhere more to the chicken. I marinated the chicken for 4 hours, and the chicken absorbed the flavors of the marinade wonderfully. Thanks so much for sharing!
