Reggae Reggae Jerk Chicken

So, if you've never heard of this Reggae Reggae sauce before..I don't blame you! I didn't either, until visiting a friend in London, UK who happened to have a bottle in the fridge. Let's just say that I couldn't help myself from smuggling about 6 bottles back to Canada. Click here to read about the history of this yummy sauce..which is quite interesting as it is a product of Dragon's Den! 



So far I've used in in stir fries, rice dishes, salmon, salads, bbq, and my favourite: CHICKEN! 
So here is a super simple recipe for which you will need: 

Approx. 6 pcs chicken drumsticks/wings/breast
Half a jar of Reggae Reggae Sauce
3-4 cloves of garlic

Side: Veggies
Bok Choy
Red/Yellow Peppers
Fresh Figs





Start by tossing the chicken in the sauce. For more intense flavours, you can marinate it for a few hours. This sauce is pretty spicy, so I just do it this way and then add more if I want more spice. 



Continue by browning the chicken on medium-high heat. Be careful not to burn it but I like it crispy so it might look a bit overdone in the photos. 



Once they are all browned, throw them on an baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or a rack lined pan like I did, and bake in the oven for 30-40 mins on 400F. 


Then quickly sautee the veggies with some olive oil and 3-4 tbsp or Reggae Reggae sauce. 



Enjoy!!
