My jerk chicken wins $2000 1st place 3 years in a row. How to make jerk chicken in my my step by step jerk chicken recipe video. My secret method is finally out for the best smoked jerk chicken on the grill. I’ll also show you different ways of smoking to get that perfect smoked jerk chicken even if you don’t have a grill or smoker.

Jerk Marinade:
6 large chicken legs
2 heaping Tbsp. Walkerswood jerk seasoning
2 stalks chopped green onion or scallion
2 sprigs fresh thyme chopped
1-2 Habaneros or scotch bonnet peppers minced (to taste)
1" knob of fresh ginger grated
2 cloves garlic minced
2 Tbsp. olive or avocado oil
1 Tbsp. white vinegar
Mix the above ingredients well in a bowl
Half a lime and Himalayan salt for the finishing stage

Directions:
Cut two slits - skin side on each chicken leg with a sharp knife.
Work the jerk marinade into each chicken leg including the slits until completely covered.
Place all of the coated chicken into a large Ziploc bag, burp the air out and seal.
Marinate in the fridge for 8-24 hours flipping the bag as necessary.
Cooking:
Preheat grill, smoker or oven to 325 degrees and add smoke if using.
Cook the jerk legs with indirect heat, skin side up for 40-70 minutes and flip if desired.

Finishing Sauce:
Baste the chicken with Walkerswood Jerk and lime sauce 1:1 - salt to taste in last 10 min.
Or
Serve with a fresh jerk, lime and butter sauce for personal dipping.
Cooking Tips:
To make it authentic Jamaican jerk chicken, use pimento wood for smoking and crank up the scotch bonnet pepper heat! -Spin the chicken on rotisserie over indirect charcoal with apple chunks to win 1st place. Marinate a whole chicken or chicken pieces and make it your own. Please experiment and share with your neighbors, they will love it, trust me!

If you are Keto then you need to learn how to make chaffles crispy vs soft, it’s the keto bread hack. I’m cooking two types of chaffles, crispy and soft in the mini dash waffle maker, side by side: Egg and cheese chaffles and the new white bread batter chaffles, crispy vs soft recipes. You decide what the best chaffle recipe is. These keto lifestyle low carb chaffle recipes take under 5 minutes from start to finish. I have added some chaffle recipe ideas to help make them your own. Crispy chaffles make a perfect keto burger bun, keto sandwich, keto grilled cheese and is good base for a pizza crust. You can even make sweet soft chaffles with coco, almond butter, nuts and sweeteners. Try using a mug cake recipe in your chaffle maker. Chaffles are a good keto low carb healthy gluten free bread substitute.

Mix & Match Chaffle Batter (makes 4 chaffles for the Dash Mini waffle iron

In a small mixer like a Magic Bullet, choose your ingredients and add to mixer.
Pick whatever ingredients appeal to you from the list, be creative and make it your own but don’t forget to write it down just in case it’s a keeper.
Flours: 2 Tbsp almond flour or 1 Tbsp coconut flour or 2 tbsp oat fiber or omit flour
Cheese: 1 tbsp cream cheese or 1 tbsp mayo or 1 tbsp yogurt or grated cheese or omit
Fat: 1 tbsp butter or flavored butter, 1 tbsp favorite oil or omit
Egg: 1 or 2 whole eggs or 2 egg whites or omit
Herbs and spices: Italian, garlic salt, onion powder, cumin, curry, etc… or omit
Sweet: coco, cinnamon, almond butter, pumpkin puree, vanilla, sweetener, etc… or omit
Veg and Berries: broccoli, cauliflower, strawberry, blueberries etc… or omit
(add the veg or berries directly to the iron and pour the batter on top)
You can also add ½ tsp baking powder, soda or proof some yeast or omit

Blend your new chaffle concoction up, scraping down the sides, adding in heavy whipping cream, water or oil to make up enough volume to make 4 chaffles. When you think that you have enough put a piece of masking tape on the mixer so you know how much of whatever you are adding to make 4 perfect chaffles next time. This will take one experiment to make the correct amount of volume, just move your tape to where you think it will make 4 chaffles.
The consistency should be pourable, just like waffle batter.

Hi Steve. Thanks for posting these great recipes. I’m not sure on your Chaffle recipe what makes one soft or crispy? Is it specific ingredients? Thanks.

[Jamboribs]

The crispy chaffle is made with the cheese, egg cheese method and the soft chaffle is made with a pour able batter.
If you look at the chaffle batter mix above, you can add in what you like for your own personal taste and pour it on to the waffle iron.

For example, I added the following to a magic bullet:
2 Tbsp. almond flour
1 Tbsp. cream cheese and 1 Tbsp. of mayo
2 eggs
1 Tbsp coconut oil
I whizzed it up and poured the batter onto a preheated waffle iron. It’s a nice soft chaffle.

The video explains it better as it is visual.
Thanks for the nice compliment.

[Athena61]

Thanks, Steve. Going to give it a try this evening. I’ve subscribed your channel.
