Jerk's heat and allspice need a wine with fruit and coolness — off-dry rosé or riesling that tames the fire without extinguishing it.

Ingredients

  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • Jerk marinade: 4 spring onions, 3 garlic cloves, 2 scotch bonnet chillies (or habanero), 3 tbsp soy, 2 tbsp lime, 1 tbsp thyme, 2 tsp allspice, 1 tsp cinnamon, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 3 tbsp oil
  • 1 mango, sliced
  • Lime wedges
  • Rice and beans

Method

  1. 11. Blend all marinade ingredients to a smooth paste.
  2. 22. Rub the chicken thoroughly. Marinate at least 2 hours (overnight is better).
  3. 33. Grill indirect for 30–35 minutes until cooked through. Direct grill last 5 minutes for crispy skin.
  4. 44. Serve with sliced mango, lime, rice and beans.
