Yesterday, I took my first run at Jerk Chicken- with the almost obligatory peas and rice. And it was definitely tasty- but I don't have anything to gauge if it was "right". Never made it- never ate it before- was on the hunt for something different to me.
Looked a ton of recipes on-line. Was not up for a store run- so if it was not in my pantry, I'd keep looking. Also passed on those that had 16 or more ingredients. I get that fresh is best... but I would have to make do with dried herbs (some probably past their prime) -and a good number of jalapenos - as that was the only peppers I normally keep on hand. Ended up with a hodge-podge list of ingredients from several different recipes... and it was better than ok- but was it "right"? (that probably should not bother me...but it did)
I want to make it again- but does anyone here have a good, solid, recipe that does not call for bottled sauces or a ton of ingredients that I would use for this dish only and would likely expire before depleted?
oh- Happy New Year!
