From Boston Globe Reader Recipes Contest: Josh Herzog came up with 1st place recie for Jerk chicken kebabs just by pulling together foods he likes. "I have always loved spicy food" he says "Island type and Mexican". A counselor at North Andover high school- he is also the coach for boys' track and, at Methuen High, the girls' diving team- Herzog lives in Brighton, where he grills out whenever the weather's nice.
Marinade: Place all ingredients in a blender and puree.
Kebabs:
You will need at least 8 skewers. In a large nonreactive bowl, pour marinade over chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
Discard marinade. Clean and oil the grate of a charcoal or gas grill. Light a charcoal fire or preheat the gas grill. Meanwhile, thread all the chicken pieces on 2 or 3 skewers. Thread all the bell pepper and onion pieces together on 2 skewers, all the mango cubes on 2 skewers, and the plantain segments on 2 skewers.
Over medium-high heat, grill plantain kebabs for about 15 minutes, turning frequently, until the plantain segments begin to turn brown. Grill chicken kebabs, pepper-onion kebabs, and mango kebabs about 10 minutes, turning frequently, until chicken is cooked through and peppers, onions, and mangoes, as well as the plantains, have grill marks. Remove chicken, vegetables, and fruit from skewers and serve immediately.
