Recipe - Boston Banana Cream Pie

FOR CHICKEN
3 One half pound Broilerfryer; (1)
Wet Jerk Rub; below, (11/2
cups divided)
Vegetable cooking spray

FOR WET JERK RUB
4 cup Pieces green onions;
(1inch)
One fourth cup Fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoon Vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon Freshly ground coriander
seeds
3 tablespoon Grated peeled gingerroot
2 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
2 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon Freshly ground allspice
1 teaspoon Freshly ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
5 Cloves garlic; peeled and
halved
3 Bay leaves
1 Fresh Scotch bonnet or
habanero peppers, halved
and seeded

FOR CHICKEN: Remove and discard giblets from chicken. Rinse chicken under
cold water, and pay dry. Remove skin, and trim excess fat; split chicken in
half lengthwise.

Place chicken in a large shallow dish, and spread 1One fourth cups Wet Jerk Rub
over both sides of chicken. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 1 to 4
hours.

Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place rack on grill over mediumhot
coals. Place chicken on rack, and cook 45 minutes or until done, turning
occassionally and basting with remaining One fourth cup Wet Jerk Rub. Yield: 6
servings (serving size: 3 ounces chicken).

FOR WET JERK RUB: This rub resembles a paste that is "packed" onto the
chicken. Use an electric coffee grinder to grind whole allspice and nutmeg:
freshly ground spices will give much more flavor than bottled ones. Be sure
to wear gloves when you handle the chile peppers and pack on the rub; the
oil in the chiles will burn your skin.

Place all ingredients in a food processor, and process until a thick paste
forms, scraping the sides of the bowl once. Yield: 1One half cups (serving
size: 1 tablespoon).

NOTES : Jerk is the Jamaican method of barbecue. Add oak, pecan, or hickory
wood to a charcoal fire to make your jerk more authentic. Substitute 2 to 3
serrano chile peppers for the Scotch bonnet peppers, if desired.
