Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200˚C/400˚F/Gas Mark 6.
Wash all the vegetables/ingredients for the Jerk Chicken Sauce and cut into small pieces. Place these in a large jug and blend until smooth.
If using chicken breast dice the chicken. If using drumsticks or meat on the bone, this can be left whole. Place the chicken in a large roasting tin and pour over the sauce. Cover using clingfilm and leave to marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, turning the chicken once. Keep cooking until the chicken is cooked through – the juices should run clear.
Removing the skin from the chicken is a good way to reduce the saturated fat in this dish. Serve with a colourful coleslaw and wholegrain rice for a healthy tasty meal.
