Grilled Jerk Chicken
Serves 8
JERK MARINADE
3 scallions, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
4-5 fresh habanero chilies, stemmed & seeded
¼ c. fresh lime juice
2 tbsp. soy sauce
3 tbsp. olive oil
1½ tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. packed brown sugar
1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
2 tsp. ground allspice
2 tsp. black pepper
¾ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
½ tsp. cinnamon
CHICKEN
4 chicken breast halves with skin and bones, halved crosswise
2½-3 lbs. chicken thighs and drumsticks
PAPAYA SALSA
1 papaya
1/4 medium red onion, finely minced
a handful of fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
juice of 1 large lime
1 hot green pepper thinly sliced, seeds and all
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Blend marinade ingredients in blender or food processor until smooth.
Divide chicken pieces and marinade between 2 sealable plastic bags. Press out excess air, seal bags, then turn over to distribute marinade. Chill for a day, turn once or twice. Leave at room temperature 1 hour before grilling.
While the chicken is marinading, peel the papaya (a serrated vegetable peeler works well for this kind of job). Scoop out the seeds and dice the flesh. Mix the papaya with the rest of the ingredients. Taste to adjust the seasonings. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Charcoal grill: Open vents on bottom of grill and lid. Light large chimney of charcoal briquettes (about 100), pour evenly over 1 side of bottom rack (with double or triple charcoal layers). When charcoal turns greyish-white and you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3-4 secs., sear chicken in batches on lightly oiled rack over coals until well-browned on all sides, about 3 mins. per batch. Move seared chicken to area without coals and cook with lid 25-30 mins. or until done.
Gas grill: Preheat burners on high, then lower to moderate. Cook chicken until well-browned on all sides, 15-20 mins. Turn heat to low and cook chicken covered with lid for 25 mins. or until done.
Serve with salsa.

If the market value of your home is important to you – as it is for many – adding a custom deck can increase your house value.

HFS Financial also offers 120% financing, allowing you some financial wiggle room for those unexpected hiccups that you may find along the way of your deck-building journey. All funds are paid directly to you, the consumer, so there’s no need to coordinate contractor work with payout schedules. Handle your project your way.
Once we’ve received your information through our 60-Second Loan Application, you will be notified of possible loan options quickly to discuss and review your loan terms and the home improvement project you have in mind.
My husband Matt and I [...] have moved away from the home where we had the beautiful deck and outdoor living space you created. We will forever remember fondly that beautiful deck, and the hard work you did during a very bad economic time to fix problems around the foundation of our home. Steve, Keith, and all of your workers were fabulous and we sent several of our friends your way with referrals. We are sure that your deck helped us get a wonderful offer on our home.
We just wanted to tell you how much we enjoy the decks DeckTec constructed at our home. Their use is a constant joy. We continually receive compliments on the design and quality of your work. We look forward to many years of use.
DeckTec are absolute pros. They just finished a big deck and roof cover project at my house. The total experience from working with Steve in Design and Sales, Keith in Project Management, and Charlie, Josh, and Hank in Construction was nothing but 6 star service. 100% on time and on budget with craftsmanship and quality. Skip the “Hammer and Nails” contractors and go with DeckTec if you want an “Outdoor Living Space”. Call these people – you will not be disappointed.
I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the work Decktec completed refinishing my deck. It hasn’t looked this good since it was new sixteen years ago. Decktec was very professional, polite and willing to work with me to get the exact color of stain I wanted. I would recommend Decktec to anyone who wants a complete job from the great construction work starting the job, to its thorough cleanup. I’m happy my neighbor referred me to Decktec. You are the fourth company I’ve had refinish my deck and will now be the only company I use going forward.
