Caribbean Chicken – Sun is Shining

December 13, 2013 By Jittery Cook 5 Comments

This is the time of year when meditation becomes mandatory. I’m not talking about the kind of meditation where you empty your mind. No, I’m talking about inviting images of blue sky, white sand, green palm trees swaying in the breeze and turquoise waves lapping at the toes.

While you are entering the Caribbean meditation zone, you might as well complete the picture with images of you and your loved ones snacking on this Caribbean Chicken. Flavourful, fresh and so saucy, it will warm your insides while you bask in your imaginary sun. To get you started, here are a few visuals.

Caribbean Chicken

Final notes:

  • Thanks to my dear friend, Sheryl Shuchat, for suggesting the wonderful Montego Bay Jerked Chicken from Angela Spenceley‘s “A Taste of the Caribbean Cookbook.” This adaptation uses less sweetener than the original.

    I’m just reading this blog on Monday morning and it is -19 C (well, -30 C with the wind chill factor, but hey, who’s counting). Listening to BM is just making my day! You should always match your dishes with music, for the full experience!
    Thanks

    Thank you for sharing this valuable info with us.

    As a practicing writer, I can say that I was trying to incorporate some facts and
    provoking thoughts in my writing training intuitively.
    I believe it is essential to spice your writing in case you want to grab the readers’ attention. However,
    you did great, thanks

    I have read the article with wonderful satisfaction and also
    could know something new I will use for your own further requirements.
    The report is clear and bright, without any added worthless details or else.
    The language is both brilliant and brilliant, so the
    further I see, the more I really do enjoy it! Besides,
    the info is rather cutting edge, so just like it.
