Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Heat a large, dry, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium-high heat

Pat your chicken thighs dry with kitchen paper

Once hot, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook for 10 min or until the skins have browned and crisped

Step 1
2.

While the chicken is cooking, cut your sweet potato[es] (skin on) into wedges

Add the sweet potato wedges to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 25 min or until the wedges are tender and starting to crisp

Step 2
3.

Combine half of your jerk paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) in a bowl with half of your white wine vinegar, a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of pepper – this is your jerk marinade

Step 3
4.

Once the chicken skin has crisped, transfer the browned chicken to the jerk marinade and give everything a good mix up – this is your marinated chicken

Transfer the marinated chicken to an oven-proof dish and pour over any excess marinade

Put the dish in the oven for 15-20 min or until cooked through and slightly charred (no pink meat!) – this is your roasted jerk chicken

Step 4
5.

Meanwhile, combine your carrot & cabbage slaw mix and mayo in a bowl with the remaining white wine vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your slaw

Step 5
6.

Combine your tomato ketchup and the remaining jerk paste (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) in a large bowl with 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar, a generous pinch of salt and pepper – this is your jerk glaze

Step 6
7.

Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]

Once the chicken is slightly charred and cooked through, add the roasted jerk chicken (and any chicken juices!) to the bowl with the jerk glaze

Give it a good mix up – these are your glazed jerk-spiced chicken thighs

Step 7
8.

Serve the glazed jerk-spiced chicken thighs with the slaw and sweet potato wedges to the side

Garnish with the sliced spring onion

Enjoy!
