1tsp Sarsons browning, or soy sauce

400g tin red kidney beans in water

1 tsp ground black pepper

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 onion, diced

200ml coconut milk

1 spring onion, halved

2 sprigs thyme

500g Asda Easy Cook Long Grain White Rice, washed

Method

1
To make the jerk marinade, blend all of the jerk ingredients with 1tbsp water into a paste and set aside.
2
Rub the chicken legs with 2tsp of Asda Jerk Seasoning. Put into a bowl, pour over the blended marinade and mix until well coated. Leave in the fridge to marinate for 2 - 24 hours.
3
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Put the chicken onto a baking tray, brushing off any excess marinade and roast for 50mins, until the skin is crispy, and the chicken is cooked through.
4
Whist the chicken cooks, start the rice and peas by putting the tin of kidney beans, with it's liquid, into a medium saucepan with 500ml water.
5
Bring to the boil and add the black pepper, garlic, onion, coconut milk, spring onion, thyme and soy sauce. Simmer for 10mins.
6
Add the washed rice and stir well. Add the whole Scotch Bonnet chilli and bring to a simmer. Cover loosely with a lid and cook for 20 - 25mins, on low heat, until the rice is cooked. Stir occasionally to stop it sticking to the bottom of the pan.
7
To serve, when the rice is cooked, put a big scoop onto 4 plates and top with a chicken leg.
