Ingredients:
- 1 small poussin/ chicken- 500 gms
- Schwartz Jerk spice blend- 1 1/2 tbsp
- Soy sauce- 1 tbsp
- Vinegar- 1/2 tsp (optional)
- Vegetable oil- 1 1/2 tbsp
- Onion- 1 small, roughly chopped
- Garlic- 5 pods
- Lemon- 1 half
Method:
- Mix together the spice blend, soy sauce, vinegar and vegetable oil in a bowl.
- Check for salt and add if necessary.
- Place the chicken and garlic pods in roasting tray and pour over the marinade.
- Rub it into all parts of the chicken. Try and get it under the skin if possible.
- Keep aside for about 30 minutes. I skipped this part and baked it immediately.
- Squeeze the lemon over the chicken and add it into the tray.
- Pre-heat over to 200C and bake the chicken for 30 minutes.
- Take the chicken out once the 30 minutes is up and baste with the juices from the tray.
- Scatter the onion around and on top of the chicken and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes more. If you want, you can turn the chicken up side down. I didn't.
- During the last 10 minutes or so, you can change to grill mode and broil it to get a charred effect.
- Check if the chicken is done by poking the fleshiest part with a knife or skewer and if juiced run clear you are good to go.
