Ingredients

🍗 Chicken Leg Quarters: Quantity as needed
🧂 All-Purpose Seasoning: To taste
🌶️ Paprika: To taste
🌿 Jamaican Jerk Seasoning (Grace Mild Jamaican Jerk Seasoning): To taste
🥣 Chicken Broth: Sufficient to cover the bottom of the foil pan
🧄 1 Garlic Bulb
🫒 Olive Oil: For searing


Instructions

1- Preparation:

  • Place the chicken leg quarters in a foil pan.
  • Generously season the chicken with all-purpose seasoning and paprika.

2- Marinade:

  • In a bowl, mix water with the Jamaican jerk seasoning to create a marinade.
  • Pour the marinade over the chicken. Use gloves to ensure the seasoning is rubbed into the chicken thoroughly.

3- Searing:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the chicken leg quarters until the skin is golden brown.

4- Baking:

  • Transfer the seared chicken back to the foil pan.
  • Add chicken broth to the pan, making sure it covers the bottom.
  • Include a whole garlic bulb in the pan, which will infuse the chicken with its aroma during cooking.
  • Place the pan in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

5- Finishing Touches:

  • Once cooked, baste the chicken with the pan drippings to enhance flavor and moisture.
  • Allow the chicken to rest briefly before serving, letting the juices redistribute.

6- Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve on a plate, optionally accompanied by traditional Caribbean sides such as rice and peas or fried plantains.
