Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
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
Cut your sweet potato[es] (skin on) into wedges
Add the wedges to a baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up
Put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until the wedges are tender and starting to crisp

Combine half your jerk paste (you'll use the rest later!) in a bowl with half your white wine vinegar, a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of pepper – this is your jerk marinade
Add your free range chicken thighs and give everything a good mix up – this is your marinated chicken

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 3 min on each side or until lightly browned

Once the chicken is lightly browned, transfer the browned chicken to an oven-proof dish and pour over any excess marinade
Put the dish in the oven for 12-14 min or until cooked through and slightly charred (no pink meat!) – this is your roasted jerk chicken

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

Combine your ketchup and the remaining jerk paste in a clean large bowl with 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar, a generous pinch of salt and pepper – this is your jerk glaze

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 – this is your glazed jerk-spiced free range chicken thighs

Serve the glazed jerk-spiced free range chicken thighs with the slaw and sweet potato wedges to the side
Garnish with the sliced spring onion
Enjoy!
