Yesterday I saw
Aawa's post involving jerk chicken. It looked pretty good to me! Earlier in the day I had picked up 7 lb. of chicken leg quarters. I reviewed the jerk chicken marinade and realized I had all of the components in the pantry (or in the case of thyme, on the window sill.) Last night I prepared the marinade and put it on the legs. Today after I got back from some errands, I fired up the 26 and got the chicken on.
It was cold, but at least above zero. We got a new recycling bin last week and it's huge, making it a pretty good wind break.
I used a couple firebrick to constrain the fire to make it an indirect cook. When the chicken was nearly done, I pushed the firebrick aside and spred the coals out to finish the legs with some direct heat.
It came out really good.
I'm not sure what jerk chicken is supposed to taste like, but I really like how this came out.
Thanks Aawa for pointing me in this direction!
