Jerk Chicken With Roasted Mango And Habanero Chiles Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all spices in a small bowl. Rub the skin side of the chicken with the rub and let rest for 30 minutes. Heat the grill to medium heat and grill the thighs, skin side down for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn the chicken, close the cover of the grill and move the chicken to the side (or cooler part) of the grill. Continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes or until completely cooked through. Remove to a platter and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve fresh mango slices and Mango-Habanero Hot Sauce. Sprinkle leaves of cilantro on top.
• Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, mangoes, habanero and vinegar and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Place the mixture in a blender and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a few tablespoons of warm water or vinegar. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Combine mango with 3/4 cup water, rice vinegar, garlic, and salt in small saucepan. Add most of the brown sugar, reserving 1 teaspoon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 5 minutes. Add habanero peppers and simmer on low for 2 minutes. Mix 2 tablespoon water with cornstarch; stir slurry into the pan. Cook over medium-high until thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Leave mixture chunky or blend for a smoother texture.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and saute until browned, 5 to 7 minutes; sprinkle jerk seasoning over chicken. Add shallot and garlic; cook and stir until shallot begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add cabbage, carrots, and reserved sugar. Cook until cabbage is translucent but still a little crunchy, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Let mixture cool.
• Heat remaining vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry plantains until they start to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer plantains onto a paper towel and let cool.
• Separate and place egg roll wrappers onto your work surface. Mix egg with water for the egg wash.
• Lay out one wrapper with a corner pointed toward you. Use a slotted spoon to add some of the chicken and cabbage mixtures across the center. Sprinkle plantain bits on top. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten edges of wonton wrappers with egg wash. Fold one corner of the wrapper over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press edges together to seal. Fill and fold remaining egg rolls.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry egg rolls in batches in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels or rack. Serve with the mango-habanero sauce.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium. Combine all spice ingredients in a medium bowl.
• Brush chicken on both sides with the oil and season with salt. Rub 1 side of each breast with some of the jerk seasoning. Place the chicken on the grill, rub side down and grill until slightly charred and the rub has formed a crust, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over, brush the top side with some of the Habanero-Mint Glaze and continue cooking until just cooked through, brushing with more of the glaze every few minutes. Remove from the grill to a serving platter, brush with more glaze and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with Mango Relish on the side.
• Place vinegars and habanero in a medium nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the sugar and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely melted and the mixture has thickened and reduced by about half. *Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender, add the mint and blend until smooth. Season with salt and let the glaze cool to room temperature.
• *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. May be prepared and refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day ahead. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Add the first five ingredients (sugar through cider vinegar) in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium and stir frequently, mashing the mango, until the ingredients are incorporated and begin to boil. Lower the heat to simmer, and let cook slowly for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Squeeze 1 tbsp juice from the orange and add with the rum to the sugar/mango mixture. Stir and simmer gently for 2 - 3 more minutes. Set aside and cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Salt chicken to taste. Grill chicken until nearly finished. Baste chicken with glaze and grill a few more minutes on each side, basting lightly with glaze with each turn until the chicken is done.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve. Reserve and refrigerate extra glaze for future use.

Steps:

• Mix onion, thyme, sugar, salt, nutmeg and tabasco sauce in a small bowl.
• Remove fat from chicken and stab a couple of times with a fork.
• Spoon or rub seasoning mixture over both sides of each breast half and let it marinate for 20 minutes (it's still pretty good without marinating).
• Heat butter and oil in large skillet over medium heat.
• When bubbling, add chicken and cook for 5 to 10 minutes on each side (depending on size of chicken breasts) until brown and cooked through.
