Jerk chicken

I bought Gordon Ramsay’s cookbook at a charity shop the other day. One of the recipes that took my fancy was his version of jerk chicken.

I had most of the ingredients apart from the chicken legs, scotch bonnet chillies and fresh thyme. For the marinade he specified scotch bonnet chillies

I finely chopped one chilli and then made the mistake of licking my fingers. My mouth was on fire and the yoghurt took a while to put out the flames.

I will leave the marinated chicken until tomorrow before I cook it.
