How To Make A-MAZING Jerk Chicken | Sorted Food

[@lunalounder6]

I love how Ben stays so calm while throwing all those innuendos.

[@songlyrics7740]

It's called peas because in Jamaica we call kidney beans red peas. So if u show a Jamaican some kidney beans and asked them to tell you what it is, they would say Red Peas. Hope this helped :)

[@juvellmckenzie4726]

Exactly, i didnt know red peas where actually called kidney beans until i was in prep school.

[@ChiZillaaa]

It's very similar to how in America, we call fried potatoes "fries" versus the English that call them "chips." Just different words for the same things.

[@weezerfan999]

xCrazyChiChi that was confusing at first for me and my international friends. Fries = chips Chips = crisps

[@bcaye]

This food originated with uneducated slaves who escaped into the mountain wilderness when the British invaded. It's natural that they developed their own culture, including language and cuisine.

[@mimijanvier]

I call it red peas.. never used the word "Kidney Beans"

[@elizabethhanrahan4085]

In the Caribbean, there is a bean that they call "pigeon peas". It is often just shortened to peas in recipes.

[@SortedFood]

Good to know cheers!

[@JasAdventures]

SORTEDfood we call pigeon peas 'gungo peas' 😄 we also just call kidney beans peas/'red peas' just because

[@Amymarie237]

We have them in the north 'black peas', but we cook them and have them with vinegar!

[@LillaKarn]

As well, depending on where you are, rice and peas is made with the pigeon peas, or the red beans and it's referred to as the same thing. Some places with call it red beans and rice. Caribbean language is very relaxed.

[@AucklandGirl21]

What you should have done is poke it before you rubbed the seasoning over it. This will have allowed more of the seasoning to penetrate deeper into the chicken. You should also have rubbed some seasoning under the skin

[@Draagreov]

But he was poking the seasoning into the chicken, i dont think (haven't tried, it's just my thought process) much of the seasoning is gonna go down those holes without getting poked there.

[@Dceb241]

"To jerk something, when it comes to your meat" Oh Ben...

indeed

[@nigelm.1537]

He's doing this on purpose too.

[@daniellindo4609]

I know that in Jamaica, we dont call Kidney beans by their real name, we call them 'Red Peas' and as such, call the dish 'Rice and Peas'. There is also a soup called 'Red Peas Soup' made with kidney beans. Rice and Peas can also be made with Gungo Peas (Pidgeon Peas).

[@tastymedleys]

English man jerks enthusiastically while his friend watches. On a more serious note, what a simple but great dish, the rice looks delicious with all those flavours!

[@SortedFood]

Well that's one hell of a description right there...

[@davidchantapanya746]

Don't know how I lived without this for so long! I make dog food for 2 of our dogs kzbin.infoUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg (we have 5!) and it is so much quicker in this. Love having the inner pot stainless so I can use my immersion blender right in it without worrying about scratching. It makes potatoes great and fast! Still working on the vegetables, first time came out great, second time I did different ones and they were a little too mushy. Just need to adjust the time. I highly recommend this pot!!!

[@cryptickaze]

PLEASE make more recipes where you cook every part of the meal at one time! I love being able to lessen the total prep/cook time, and having everything ready together (instead of rushing to prepare multiple dishes). Thanks guys 😘

[@alskjflah]

I purchased Nando's perri perri sauce online to make at home here in the US. I watched this video and both of the Nando's videos from sorted multiple times each. I had my butcher spatchcock the chicken for me and cut slices in the chicken rather than poke holes before marinating overnight. Otherwise I used this method. Dear God what Amazing rice! So creamy and delicious the flavors of the chicken married with the rice and peas so perfectly. I love it all so much. Thank you Sorted.

[@emsd2307]

Never thought i would ever endorse a non traditional jerk chicken and rice and peas recipe but this is the one. Im gonna pinch some of these tips to up my sunday dinner game. Well done lads.

[@anah2218]

The way chicken was placed on top of rice while cooking in the oven is the best part , all the steam, the flavours from chicken to rice and then from rice to chicken makes an amazing delicious taste, loved this method .

[@AjalaKingsGreenstream]

I'm Jamaican and i'm pleased. _well done!_. *Tip:* never make jerk the same way each time

[@AjalaKingsGreenstream]

Kidney beans has just found its way into Jamaican cuisine. I too don't understand exactly why but it tastes good with rice. Lol next time pre-season the meat overnight and let it marinade.

[@maxhaibara8828]

I'm sorry but somehow in my mind, that rice looks more delicious than the chicken itself

[@AjalaKingsGreenstream]

Jamaican rice and peas is yummy with real coconut milk.

[@bcaye]

I would have either one by itself for a meal any day. Together I imagine it is beautiful.

[@DonArmageddon]

Easiest crispy baked chicken wings: Marinade in yogurt and hot sauce (harissa, sriracha) for 2 hours-1 day Rinse off marinade, place wings on wire rack and pat dry. Season wings with black pepper and paprika, and place rack in a baking pan lined with foil for easier cleanup. Bake at 425 F for 45 minutes, serve with your favorite sauce. This technique gets you perfect results every time: crispy skin and juicy, tender meat that easily pulls off the bone. Thanks! -- Nikolai

[@Maegrauko]

Put it on the website, sounds great!

Thanks!

[@marcbrodie2642]

I’ve just made this and can honestly say it was amazing, I was worried about the rice but it came out perfect !

[@mattiasgw5751]

My favourite way to cook chicken is mediterranean inspired. It is oven roasted chicken thighs (you can also use the whole leg if you want), seasoned with salt, pepper and olive oil and then mixed with chopped olives, chopped rosemary and finely diced whole lemons, with the peel and all. Then simply roast it in the oven at about 180-200 C, until the chicken is cooked through. It gets a lovely earthy flavour from the olives and the rosemary, which is perfect in combination with the zingy taste of the lemon peel and the juice from the roasted lemons. I would love you guys to make this one day for the community, so easy, simple and delicious. It's perfect with a creamy mushroom risotto. I love to see your show! Best of luck from Denmark! :)

Yeah, but it isn't authentic and misrepresents the original dish.

[@SennaAugustus]

One main feature of traditional food is the personalisation, you do what you want. The ingredients are seasonal, whimsical, "there was this vegetable in the market to day so I chucked it in".

[@Matt19matt19]

@@BigHenFor you sound like an italian. Who gives a fuck if it tastes good? Plus theres comments from jamaicans saying well done. I bet you'd get actual jamaicans arguing between themselves about jerk chicken and what's proper.

I've done this a lot of times, it's absolutely brilliant.

[@rmk7943]

Made this for the tea tonight and turned out so good! Rice is amazing and chicken looks scarily burnt when you take it out but tastes amazingggg. Will definitely make again soon and highly recommend!

[@VampyRagDoll]

My favourite way is Jamaican curry with rice n peas. ❤️

[@veeardy4635]

The seasoning remains on the skin (yes I know Ben poked holes in the meat) but if you shove the seasoning under the skin, then the magic happens.

[@hybridmachine3145]

Wow that looks amazing, thanks for the tip on alternative way to making rice and peas

[@kendallbard2317]

Rice and beans are such classics

[@Nightingale_time]

My gosh, the comment section here is turning into the comment section from Tasty. "THAT'S NOT RIGHT!" Not, it's their way. They combined suggestions from THE AUDIENCE. Let it go.

[@iankavanagh1089]

Do not know how I missed this one. I’m a good Irish Canadian with Jamaican roots who grew up with rice and peas as a main staple of Sunday roasts. On my long dead grandma’s grave I’d give the rice and peas a go. Jerk chicken was never a think in my child hood but I do like the idea of letting the drippings of the chicken drop into the rice. Curried goat, ox tail, stew fish or good old roast pork with Carl’s to sop up the dregs is the way to go.

[@posapie]

We all know the kind of chicken every one loves with a peri-peri sauce..." "Is that the the one your NAN-DO's ? " Wetting myself...!

It's kind of funny that there are at least 2 chicken videos on trending right now.... 😂😂

[@rowannemcgee7943]

This has been one of my favourite recipes and I recently lost the paper I wrote it down on!!! The website doesn’t seem to show the ingredients or method anymore, does anyone have it written down??? Xxx

[@DuctTapeCreations104]

When I went to Jamaica this is all I ate! (And Jamaican beef patties) yum!

[@kitt7082]

I'm very interested in that rice. Sounds yummilicious!

[@AdesinaCat]

The way they cut the chicken is called "butterflied" here in the US. I love cooking a whole chicken that way. I save the backbone, giblets, and since no one eats them in my house, wings, for both. I put it all in a bag and into the freezer, and once I have about the parts from three chickens, put it all in a crock-pot and cook for about 24 hours on low.

[@lagaratica7642]

My favorite chicken dish is "Poulet a l'ail" from Guadeloupe. Rub chicken parts with garlic and cayenne, put in pan, squeeze lime juice over, add water until until the chicken is about half covered in liquid. Cook on medium high, turning occasionally until the pan is almost dry. Add a cup or so more water and scrape up the pan drippings to make sauce. I swear it is transformative.

[@Mechakittylove]

Ex nandos employee here. You need to crack/ pop the joints and the back for easier eating! It helps cook more evenly too since it's flatter!

[@maryamhafeez9548]

Hi Sorted team, I hardly ever comment but I wanted to let you know that I love all your videos, and especially this one!!! The rice looks so delicious!! Thanks for sharing

[@daniellesmith9993]

Jamaican approved. Great job guys!!! In Jamaica, we call kidney beans red peas. So if you show a Jamaican some kidney beans and asked them to tell you what it was, they'd call it Red Peas.

[@jennykate8610]

When I went to Cuba, there was rice and beans with every. Single. Meal. They were really good though.

[@FioraTheMasquerade]

My household's favorite chicken recipe is taking bone-in skin-on thighs and rubbing a mix of grated garlic, oil, salt, and smoked paprika (LOTS. Like 3 tbs) onto the chicken and then placing them on a rack over sliced potatoes and onions. Its a tweeked version of Alton Browns favorite dinner. :3

[@chomerly]

I like to make my jerk marinade from scratch. It enables me to tailor the level of spice for certain people in my family. Though I have never cooked a chicken the same way as you guys have done in this video, I still believe in using fresh lemon juice to wash the chicken with first. Not only does add flavour, which you made up for using the lime zest, it also kills any bad bacteria which could make it through the cooking process. I say could, and the chances of it happening are minuscule, but you read about food poisoning from incorrectly prepared chicken and this extra step can minimise that. Washing a chicken in lemon juice is a practice that most Jamaican people, and people with Jamaican heritage, I know do. I think it is partly based on fact, for the reasons on why to do it, but also culturally ingrained from parent to child. I know it was for me.

[@Marie45610]

I go with a really simple seasoning combo when I roast a bird. I use salt, pepper, herb blend, then I smash some garlic cloves and put them under the skin, quarter a white onion and put that in the cavity. I then roast it on a rack over a bit of water in the pan so the bird is also steamed. It produces a really moist chicken.

[@TheExlurker]

Hahaha..... nice to see English guys eating this dish and loving it!!! That guy did a wonderful job.... the combination with rice underneath taking up the juices of the chicken is a very good way to fully enjoy all the flavours.

[@Isbjoern013]

Where the hell's that Bennuendo counter?

[@rob3rtisgod]

I've found the best way to cook a spatchcock chicken is on the barbecue! Get a kettle grill and cook it for about an hour to an hour 30, ideally around 200/180 degrees. This leaves the chicken super moist! Tandoori chicken is a must!

[@cjjn]

Instead of using long-grain, use parboil for the rice. It works better. And to make your rice BANGING, use black eyes peas and pigeon peas.

[@halsalluk]

I may be late to the party here but wow that was bloody amazing, rice and pea were bloody amazing, the chicken was tender and moist. Out of this world.

[@DanielSmith-yl7nz]

Just tried this tonight. The chicken was good but the rice was a revelation, delicious!

[@Southernchickkm]

Ya'll should do a segment where you talk about spices and flavors for certain dishes. For instance, I have allspice, but I am not sure what to with it.

[@daz56890]

Hi Guys ..... massive fan of this recipe done it loads of times. Its a family favourite

[@C_Bat]

Simple chicken thighs/wings with a rub of your choice (I use a small amount of liquid soy sauce+lemon juice with a paste of chilli, fresh garlic, lemon zest and lots of pepper+[optional]paprika) oven-roasted/pan-fried with a bit of peanut oil for a while... I don't look at the time, I just poke at it when I feel like it's about done. I prefer the roasted wings, simply cuz the charred marinade mingles well with the wings and they make great party food, LOL.

[@rachelhaigh1630]

I love chicken thighs and my mom makes this beautiful marinade with orange juice and all kinds of good things.

[@waynehanley72]

In the Caribbean they use pigeon peas with their rice. They're not actually green/garden peas, but a type of bean (like a smaller version of a kidney or pinto bean).

[@taylorherbertson2004]

Barry's face at 7:36, utterly priceless!!

[@shirleycastle5170]

I boil enough water to cover a whole chicken , once water boils I drop the whole chicken in wait till it comes to a boil and cook for 20 minutes then turn heat off lid on. 2hrs later the chicken is ready to eat as you please. Very tender and best ever.

[@annwest4345]

To add to songlyrics explanation about why it's called rice and peas is also because in the older days rice and peas was made with pigeon peas or a small type of peas that looks a lot like kidney beans but they are not. Now though most Jamaican's use kidney beans to make their rice and peas. Interesting way to make your rice and peas by the way but not very Jamaican, we traditionally don't put chicken stock in our rice and peas, just coconut milk, thyme, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, a nice unbroken scotch bonnet pepper, and a piece of salt pork, last one is optional. Kind of reminds me of how they make it in Trinidad minus the beef.

[@abeg1571]

Every different chicken type has a different best recipe to me. A full chicken done with a jerk rotisseries is delish. Chicken Breast flattened out and in a sammy is great. Chicken Thighs is a butter chicken. Wings and Legs as a Korean fried chicken, oh my!

[@blackmore56]

Jamie, I love my chicken plain and sloppy. A Chinese friend told me this method to cook chicken. 1 whole chicken in a pot, cover with cold tap water, cover the pot. Bring to the boil, boil for one minute. Keeping the pot covered turn off the gas,hob and leave it until the water has cooled. Don't worry it will be perfectly cooked through. You will have the most succulent chicken ever. Of course you can add ginger, soy sauce etc. Spud

[@HeavenlyImaginings]

Slow cooker. Whole chicken sitting on a bed of roughly chopped leeks, with some fresh garlic. Use the Leek top split in half like a blanket. Slow cook it . Then remove the leek tops they have done their job. Remove the chicken off the bones I usually keep the legs and thighs together and the wings + breasts, then I take off all the extra bits of chicken which usually come off the bones super easily pop the shredded chicken in with the stock, add some water and a bit more stock & mushrooms. The legs and stuff I grill or roast for 5-10mins from cold with some veggies for a roast. This is my way of making the most of a slightly more expensive chicken but also so delish. Also great in the soup is dried seaweed

Disclaimer: I'm not Jamaican, have never been to Jamaica, and have no idea what I'm talking about... BUT when I make jerk chicken with rice & peas, I use Pigeon Peas rather than kidney beans, which I get in the frozen vegetable section of my grocery store, because I think someone told me to do that once... or (more likely) I saw it in a KZbin video. They're delicious, and I have no idea whether they're technically peas or beans, but it makes me feel authentic when I do it.

[@denesharoberts9891]

Hey Boys! .. can you do a dish from Trinidad and Tobago.. Pleasee!!!!

[@marieantoinette9279]

Questions: 1. When you jerk shrimp/ veges do you put holes in it? 2. Do you consider a baked chicken jerked because you poked holes in it so the sauce penetrates the meat? 3. Is a braised large piece of beef considered jerked because you made holes to get the flavor in? 4a. Is it really rice and peas if this not done the same way the country that calls it that? 4b. If no, isn't this rice just another variation of rice and beans and should be called that Note: Its called jerk in Jamaica because of the specific seasoning blend, same as you would do for barbecue chicken. Not sure about the world, perhaps that's the poking holes business.

Chicken Marbella from the Silver Palate Cookbook is best chicken. Marinade and then cooked with capers and prunes. Sounds weird but tastes delicious.

[@tonycolle8699]

My favorite chicken is to take the thighs, season with salt and pepper. Put them in a hot skillet skin side down and cook over medium to medium high heat for 30 to 45 minutes. If the chicken was injected with a lot of water, drain off the excess water after about 10-15 minutes so chicken fries and not boils. Do not turn the thighs over; cook skin side down all the way. Skin will be super crispy. You probably want to cover the pan with a splash guard to keep grease from flying all over.

[@Juliejanssen1234]
