Exodust Jerk Chicken

We take the classic Jerk Chicken and give it a mighty A&O twist with our fiery Exodust - a powerhouse of a blend that’s full of traditional spices, herbs and chilli for a bold and robust flavour experience. 
Exodust does most of the heavy lifting here, but we suggest marinating the chicken the night before to ensure you get the absolute best flavour ride! Get the chicken sizzling and grab yourself a cold one - you’re in for a great meal…

Directions

  1. Mix all the jerk marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken thighs and drumsticks, making sure they’re well-coated. Cover and marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  2. Remove chicken from the marinade, shaking off the excess. 
  3. Grill or fry the chicken, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred (internal temp should reach 165°F / 74°C). Set aside. 
  4. In a medium pan, sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened. Add the Exodust and stir fry to combine before adding the rice, coconut milk and chicken stock. Bring to a boil.
  5. Stir in the kidney beans, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed. 
  6. Fluff up the rice with a fork and spoon onto plates, topped with the juicy, smoky jerk chicken.
  7. Garnish with herbs and a squeeze of lime. 

You can also:

  • Ramp up the spice - simply add more Exodust!
  • Shake up the protein - try it with pulled pork or beef.
