- 700 g Self Raising Flour
- 80 g Sugar

## Instructions

1. Wash the boneless, skinless chicken thigh fillets.
2. Score the chicken fillets.
3. Dice onion and scallion.
4. Grate garlic and ginger.
5. Chop scotch bonnet pepper.
6. Combine thyme, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, parsley, ground white pepper, ground black pepper, dark brown sugar, and salt in a bowl.
7. Combine the fresh ingredients (onion, scallion, garlic, ginger, scotch bonnet) with the seasonings in a blender.
8. Blend for about 15 seconds until a smooth but thick consistency is achieved.
9. Add the marinade to the chicken and mix.
10. Cover the chicken with cling film and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the fridge for best results.
11. Combine self-raising flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
12. Mix the dry ingredients together until evenly distributed.
13. Slowly add water and mix until fully combined and a dough is formed.
14. Adjust with flour if the dough is too sticky, or with water if it's too dry.
15. Cover the dough and allow it to rest for about 30 to 45 minutes.
16. Place the marinated chicken on a baking tray lined with aluminium foil.
17. Cook the chicken in an oven at Gas Mark 6 for about 30 minutes.
18. Add the leftover jerk marinade to a pot along with some jerk BBQ sauce and a little bit of boiling water.
19. Place the pot on a low heat and leave to simmer, making sure it cooks all the way through, then leave to cool.
20. Once the chicken is cooked, coat one side with half of the glaze.
21. Place the chicken under the grill for about 5 to 10 minutes to get the jerked effect, checking every couple of minutes to ensure it doesn't burn.
22. Flip the chicken fillets, coat with the rest of the glaze, and place back under the grill.
23. Uncover the dough and separate it into large balls.
24. Flatten the dough balls slightly into an almost dish shape for the buns.
25. Heat enough oil in a Dutch pot or large frying pan to cover the bottom of the pan and maybe three-quarters of an inch high, on a medium-low heat.
26. Ensure the oil is hot before carefully adding the dough to the pan.
27. Fry the dumplings, turning to cook both sides evenly, aiming for a balance between cooking through and not burning the outside.
28. Slice the fried dumpling in half.
29. Add cheese and a little jerk BBQ sauce to the bottom half of the dumpling.
30. Place the cooked chicken on top of the cheese and sauce.
31. Put the burger in the oven for a couple of minutes so the cheese can melt.
32. Serve the Jerk BBQ Chicken Dumpling Burger, optionally with avocado.

## Tips

- Score the chicken fillets to ensure maximum surface area for the jerk marinade and better depth of flavor.
- For the best results, marinate the chicken overnight in the fridge.
- Do not knead the dumpling dough too much as it will become too dense.
- When frying dumplings, size them wisely as they expand during cooking to avoid them being too thick or burnt.
