About Recipe

Some recipes like this jamaican jerk oven fried chicken take some prep and getting your fingers sticky and gooey. Yes, there's gonna be some clean up, dishes, a messy counter space and some other odds and ends. But, the outcome is well worth all the effort and time you put into it. There's two steps to this chicken. It's flash fried for a few minutes just to get the great crust on the exterior. Then it's oven baked to get the tender juicy inside meat all done. When you pull it out, you're gonna think you've got fried chicken like grandma used to make deep frying it in maybe vegetable oil or lard back in the day. The spicy orange jalapeno sauce is just an added plus to this chicken. A bonus. You don't 'have' to make it, but you'll be glad you did! If you have something else that makes you happy, like buttermilk bleu cheese or ranch dressing/sauce/dip, that would be amazing, too. I serve this chicken with just a salad or a light vegetable side. No gravies, sauces or anything to mask the Mother Earth vegetable flavor~peas, roasted zucchini or squash, steamed or roasted asparagus, succotash. I figure with all the crispy on the chicken I've got the carbs covered!
