Serves 8

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 whole chicken fryers cut into 8 quarters
  • 2 stalks celery with leaves
  • 2 large carrots
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 cups mango pulp
  • 2 tbsp. hot jerk seasoning (powder or paste)
  • 1 medium onion grated
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  •  zest and juice of 2 limes
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp. each fresh chopped parsley and cilantro

DIRECTIONS

Boil chicken quarters for 15 minutes with celery stalks and carrots. Reserve 1 cup of chicken stock and set chicken aside to cool.

In a bowl mix mango pulp, jerk seasoning, garlic, onions, lime zest and juice, along with cup of chicken stock. Heavily coat chicken quarters with mango mixture (reserving some of the mango mixture
for basting).

Preheat oven to 375F and cook chicken for 25 minutes, turning and basting half way through.

Chicken is thoroughly cooked when juices from the chicken run clear when pierced with a fork or knife.
Present on plate and dress with fresh herbs.
