Reverse Seared Rack of Lamb is the perfect way to nail the Medium Rare inside and get a nice, Chargrilled Crust on the outside. And forget about the traditional Mint Jelly served with Lamb because this Rack of Lamb has a Pepper Jelly Glaze.
Season the racks of lamb with a light coat of Gyro Hero Greek Seasoning.
Place the racks in a large ziplock bag or container and pour the marinade over the top. Close the bag and make sure all of the meat is covers with the marinade. Refrigerate for 1 hour minimum.
Remove the lamb from the marinade and re-season with a little more Gyro Hero Greek Seasoning.
Prepare the Primo smoker for indirect cooking at 250 degrees.
Place the racks of lamb on the pit, insert a meat probe thermometer to monitor internal temperature and cook the lamb until the internal temp reaches 115 degrees.
Remove the lamb from the pit and rest for 30 min. While the lamb rest remove the heat diverter plate from heat grill for direct searing at 550 degrees.
Combine the pepper jelly glaze ingredients below in a small bowl. Reserve a little for serving with the lamb.
Place the lamb over the hot coals and brush with the pepper jelly glaze. Sear for about 1 minute on all sides.
Repeat for all 3 racks then slice into individual chops and serve with a drizzle of the reserved pepper jelly glaze.
With this recipe, you can turn cheap, boneless, skinless chicken thighs into a big ol’ delicious $20 Jerk Chicken Sandwich. Or get some slider buns and make a Jerk Chicken Sandwich bar…
This one is so good because you start with some chicken thighs – they go directly into a jerk marinade. Then get a charcoal grill fire up with some Royal Oak (setup with a two-zone fire). After the chicken soaks for at least 1 hour, it can go directly onto to grill – over the hot coals.
This is when I season the chicken thighs with Jerk Seasoning – right over the fire – because it smells so good! Once the chicken cooks a little, it’s time to glaze it with a Jerk Sauce until chargrilled and caramelized.
To make the Jerk Chicken Sandwich, slice the chargrilled Jerk Chicken and put on a toasted brioche bun with Island Slaw and a Calypso Sauce.
Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs in a large ziplock bag. Combine the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken. Close the bag and gently toss to coat each thigh. Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Prepare a 2 zone charcoal grill – hot side and indirect side.
Add the marinated chicken to the hot side of the grill working in batches. Season with additional jerk seasoning right on the grill.
Flip and turn the chicken often until internal temp reaches 165.
Brush each piece with the jerk glaze – recipe above.
Continue to cook until the thighs reach 175 internal – it should be slightly charred and sticky from the glaze.
After a short rest slice the thighs into small strips.
Island Slaw Directions
In a small bowl combine the mayo, Dijon, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Place the bag of Cole slaw mix in a large mixing bowl. Add the green onion, diced red onion, scotch bonnet pepper, and pineapple.
Toss it together using tongs and add the dressing mixture.
Mix the slaw with tongs and cover with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
To build the sandwiches: Spread the calypso sauce on the top and bottom bun Layer on the dill pickle slices and lettuce. Pile on the jerk chicken and island slaw then the top half of the bun.
It’s been a while since I made a Korean recipe and when I saw that Gochujang chicken thighs are doing their viral rounds on the internet, I could not resist jumping on the bandwagon!
If you have tried & loved Korean recipes, then I am sure you are also a spice-lover just like us! Hence I can bet that you will also gush over these Korean Gochujang chicken thighs!
We love spicy food and as a natural instinct we are drawn towards Korean food (and also Thai) when we have to opt for one from Oriental cuisines.
Though I haven't shared many Korean recipes in my blog yet, we both love them thanks to the flavor-packed dishes that Korean cuisine offers!
The strong aromas of Korean recipes may be a little overwhelming for a few of you, but the one I have come with today will fit into everyone’s palate!
Sticky Korean Gochujang chicken thighs! This is a keeper as it takes minimal prep time and produces maximum flavors!
What are Gochujang chicken thighs?
When you generously marinade a few skin-on & bone-in chicken thighs with a generous amount of Gochujang, the Korean chilli-bean paste, and air fry them until cooked, you get the most flavorful, juicy & tender Korean flavored chicken ever without the guilt of deep-fried food!
And that’s Gochujang chicken thighs for you!
If you are familiar with Korean recipes, you may already be aware that many Korean recipes involve double-frying, which enhances the crispiness of the food and retains the crunch longer.
Since I intentionally try to avoid deep-fried foods, most of the authentic Korean recipes are out of my league, unfortunately!
Then appeared these sticky Gochujang chicken thighs! Why did I love these? Because they are baked/air-fried and not deep fried! Absolute win-win!
