Jerk Cornish Game Hens
Bradford Thompson's jerk sauce is loosely based on his wife Kerry-Ann's excellent family recipe; the couple is hoping to bottle it and sell it in stores. The mix of fiery Scotch bonnet chiles, scallions and spices creates a complex, deep-flavored paste that's amazing on grilledchickenor game hens.More Grilled Chicken Recipes

Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Make Ahead
The jerk paste can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
Suggested Pairing
Fiery jerk sauce obliterates the flavor of almost any wine. Instead, serve these hens with beer. Jamaicans would drink the local Red Stripe, a mild lager-style beer; for an American equivalent, look for the lightly malty Samuel Adams Boston Lager.
