Jerk Chicken with Cucumber Salad

Directions

Step ONE
On a cutting board, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut down both sides of backbone to remove. Place chicken breast-side-up on cutting board. Firmly press on breast of chicken to crack the breast bone and flatten the rib cage.
Step TWO
Puree remaining ingredients in food processor or blender, until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Rub sauce over chicken and under skin. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Step THREE
Remove chicken from refrigerator and let set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F and line a roasting pan with a wire rack.
Step FOUR
Roast chicken, breast-side-up, until golden-brown and reaches 170°F, about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Step FIVE
For the cucumber salad, whisk together lime juice, honey and garlic in a large serving bowl. While whisking vigorously, slowly pour in oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add cucumber, green onion and jalapeno and toss to combine. Serve salad with jerk chicken.
