Life of Spice: Drunken Chicken

Hilow! I havent done one of these posts in awhile. My cousin and I had a small chicken challenge- who could have the best chicken. She won! I'll get her recipe for the next Life of Spice post. During the holidays my aunt always say we soon fly to how we eat chicken


Recipe

7 pieces of chicken (seasoned with chicken seasonings)
3 Oranges (squeezed- you want the juice)
1/4 cup Wray and Nephew Overproof Rum


Sauce:
4 tsp Honey
1 tbsp Steak sauce
1/2 cup Ketchup
4 tbsp Catalina salad dressing

Life of Spice: Mango and Lime Stew Chicken

Mangoes are so in season and as much as I'd love to be able to eat them all at once; it's just not happening. I'm sitting just staring at all these mangoes in my kitchen basket, bambi, blackie and common mango. Ask me what I'm looking for? I don't know but then it hit me. Use mango with the chicken!

Life of Spice: Pa! Baked Chicken

A typical Sunday dinner in Jamaica is rice and peas with   some form of "salting" which refers to meat. Have I made mentioned that I love food? Having been away at school I wasn't able to cook dinner for my family and so I'm back and in the kitchen. My mom started the rice pot and chicken; I simply added the finishing touches. Pow. Anywho, today we're looking at baked chicken. This is considered a lot healthier than frying as there is no oil absorption and heat from the oven melts the fat on the meat. I say I am the "specialist" in this cooking method and I love making sauces for basting the meat. I remember a while back my best friend said you're forgetting something in your Life of Spice posts; hilow where are the recipes?
It is a family so four individuals and so a whole chicken was used. Plus, on a Sunday we cook for the following day as well. We say, a Sunday-Monday dinna. You may not need to use an entire chicken; the recipe below is based on what I did

Island Life: Salt River

 I'm on this blog 3x a week challenge and I've been contemplating on what to do before this week ends (it has ended already). I went to the river and decided I'd share. But I ponder should I include this in my life of spice or set it as something separate? So I made up my mind Life of Spice is dedicated to food and Island Life is for mi likkle adventures.

A Jamaica mi come from an nuff people try fi mimick wi language but a part from di language mi wah fi show unuh one likkle side a Life wid Spice. Translation: I'm Jamaican breed and grown and a lot of people have tried to mimic our language. But apart from the language I want to showcase to you a life of spice.

Life of Spice: Jamaican Curry Chicken

It's been a very long time since I've gone one of these posts. Here are my previous post under this title Jamaican Cuisine Jamaican Cuisine. Anywho, if there's nothing you know about Yulli Blue what you should know is that I really love food. Most importantly, I am a big curry fan.
