EvilJerk Marinade (as tasted at ECC)

[kennyj]

I need the bean recipe

[Scattman]

Got me 12 large breasts marinading right now. Also picked up the supplies for another batch of ECC baked beans.

I have some that I started last night. I used chipolte peppers, I will let yall know how it comes out. Also tried an experiemental one, made some changes and found habeneros for it.

I will be cooking this afternoon and report back.

Well how'd it go Shelby ????


I'm making the marinade tonight and cooking the chicken tomorrow on the grill.

[4xFord]

It was good, the chipolte's added a good flavor but werent very spicy. The vinegar really cooked the chicken quite a bit as it marinaded. The experimental one was good, I used more sweet ingredients and the habeneros didn't taste too spicy, i used 3 small ones.

Next time I will try either more chipotles or use the habeneros. And next time for my marinade in progress, I will use more habeneros.

Just add 2 Benadryl to the recipe and take them before you eat.

I made a double batch of this over the weekend......I should have made a triple

On the grill as we speak.

And just so you know, I didnt try one single bite of this stuff at ECC

I could smell the cinnamon a little thru the vent holes in the lid. I let the chicken soak for almost 20 hrs and then moved it to another container before putting it on the grill. I was concerned about the vinegar starting to cook the meat like mentioned.






I am anticipating it being very good so in about 30 minutes it will all be over ......

I know people are a bit worried about Habaneros, but don't. If you are, buy a jar of pickled habaneros. In my opinion, they have by far the best flavor for this recipe.

So far, I've also tried jalapenos & serranos, but I didn't think that either was anywhere near as good as the habaneros.

I liked the habanero's. My wife got a little nervous so we went w/ 2 med. sized habanero's & pulled the seeds out of both. I'm thinking maybe 3 next time(1 with seeds).

Chicken turned out great. We keep going back to the leftover's and picking at it. Very nice. Had it with yellow seasoned rice & a light beer.

What do you thinking about adding a touch of honey or molasses?

Glad it turned out well for you. I, personally, wouldn't do the honey or molasses, but the great thing about grilling & bbq is that there are really no rules. A recipe is just groundwork for you to expand upon. Have at it, but if you try, report back with the results.

I say get after it with the honey Doug. My experimental one was a little more sweet and it came out awesome. Everything is personal preference, which means if you think it needs a certain ingredient, it does.

Where do you find the pickled ones?? I could only find fresh ones.

Ask at either a specialty foods store or a large chain grocery store that has a large selection of specialty foods.

I'm stuck using the pickled habaneros most of the time I make it as there is such little demand locally that nobody sells fresh habaneros within a 1 1/2 hour drive.

[Scattman]

Made a batch yesterday morning for dinner tonight. About 26 hours of marinade time.

Used 2 large fresh habaneros with seeds. Last batch had nowhere enough heat

30 minutes later I was in the bathroom with my face under the shower wondering how I got habanero in my right eye.

[Scattman]

Heat was about perfect this time around. Have enough left for some sammiches as well.

How big is a large habenero? The fresh ones I find are about 2" long.

About the same is what I have found.






I have a batch ready to go on one of the big smokers. The one I used at ECC is out on a rental. 10 big juicy breasts. Also a large batch of my baked beans as well. Got some friends moving back down from TN so we are having them over for dinner.
