Caribbean Chicken Recipe - Use A Meat thermometer! 3

Today let’s whip up some Caribbean Chicken in the kitchen; but before we get to the recipe, I want to suggest an important tool.

The USDA recommends using a food thermometer to make certain that meats have reached a safe internal temperature. Cooking food to the proper internal temperature reduces the risk of food borne bacteria and the danger of getting sick.

However, that is not even the best reason to start using a meat thermometer. This is the best part…

Have you ever excitedly started preparing a recipe with chicken or fish only to end up with overcooked, dry meat? A food thermometer can help you avoid overcooking your meat! If you want tender, juicy, and flavorful dishes it is highly important that you measure the internal temperature of your dishes.

The thermometer I’m using for this post came from Katom Restaurant Supply.

Don’t tell me you cut into your meat to see if it’s done. Cutting into meat allows the juices to escape, meaning a higher chance your meat will be dry. In addition, beef can often look done inside when cut open but turn red again a few minutes later. A meat thermometer takes out the guesswork.

Grilling meat can also be tricky without a meat thermometer. Actually, grilling meat might be the trickiest when it comes to testing doneness without a thermometer. What a shame to buy an expensive cut of meat, then cook it improperly!

An instant-read thermometer with a digital display inserted in the thickest part of the food can help you to know when it’s time to take your food off the heat. Make sure to avoid bones, fat or gristle when taking the internal temperature of the meat. After use, always wash the thermometer with soap and water.

Now let’s get cooking.

  • Remove chicken from marinade and place on in the skillet, or on the grill.

The longer the meat marinades the more flavorful the end result will be. I like to let mine marinade overnight in the refrigerator.

This chicken recipe makes a great meal prep dish; add rice, beans, salad, veggies or noodles.
