This delicious Jerk Chicken recipe is a family favourite! Itโs keto, paleo, low-FODMAP, and kid-approved. It makes for an easy dinner with sweet potato chips, roasted vegetables, or salad.
Ingredients
Marinade
6 green tips of spring onions, finely chopped
1 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
3 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp paprika
2 tsp allspice
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1-2 tsp of pink Himalayan salt or sea salt
1kg organic chicken drumsticks
2 bay leaves
Lime wedges, coriander leaves, roasted broccoli, and cauliflower rice or sweet potato chips to serve.
Method
Mix all of the marinade ingredients together in a glass storage container. Place the chicken drumsticks and bay leaves in the container and coat the chicken in the marinade. Pop the lid on the container and store it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 1 hour if you are in a hurry.
Preheat the oven to 200C.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown all sides of the chicken, basting with the marinade for about 5-6 minutes. No need to cook through. Place the chicken in a roasting tin and cook in the oven for 25 minutes.
Serve chicken with fresh lime wedges, fresh coriander leaves, cauliflower rice or sweet potato chips, and roasted broccoli. This is great served cold as a packed lunch the next day. Enjoy!! โค
