Directions: |
Directions:To a blender add molasses, vegetable oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, thyme and nutmeg. Blend until smooth, If you want extra hot jerk chicken, add the serrano to the blender also. Pour about 2/3 of the spice rub over the chicken and use your hands to spread it all over chicken. Arrange the chicken in the slow cooker so that they are nestled tightly and as close to the bottom as possible. Save the rest of the rub for later use. Cut the onion into wedges and slice the orange and serrano (if you did not use it in the rub). Add to the slow cooker. Nestle the pieces down in and under the chicken so that they make close contact with chicken. Place lid on the slow cooker, turn on high and let cook undisturbed for four hours. After four hours, carefully remove the chicken and place it on a broiler pan or a baking sheet covered with foil. Spread the rest of the spice rub carefully over the surface of the chicken. Adjust the rack in your oven so it is 4 - 5 inches below the broiler. Broil on high for about 5 mins. or until the skin is crispy and browned. Watch carefully. Once skin is browned remove from oven and serve. |
