If I may briefly translate for us Brits who are probably thinking cilantro sounds like some sort of anti-depressant medication.
Cilantro is Coriander.

The chicken looks lovely by the way.

Cilantro is Coriander.

Well, it is the leaves of the coriander. I am not a cilantro fan, so I always substitute parsley.
I would also add a few more cloves of garlic and a dash of chili powder. I fand that just a tad bit of chili brings out the flavor of the paprika more.
Looks delish... except knowing that it is cilantro in there, makes my mouth dry up.

That sounds and looks delicious.

makes my mouth dry up.

So just add a little Captain Black and moisten it up a bit.

No need to thank me!

Coriander/cilantro was one of the things I couldn't abide when I was younger.
Love it now. I always ask for extra

Just screenshotted the recipe. I’ll likely make this soon. Thanks for sharing.

Seeing all this about chicken made me think of my favorite style of chicken. Jerk Chicken. For those of you who make it or would like to try some, here's a tip. I've tested over 25 brands of Jerk marinate and without doubt my favorite is......

Chicken looks great despite the most obnoxious herb on earth.

In the USA, a study was published at the end of 2012 by a research team led by Nicholas Eriksson, who was able to draw on data from a company that specializes in private genome analyses. The researchers analyzed data from almost 30,000 Americans. The researchers discovered that one of the two genetic variants for the odor receptor called OR6A2 probably determines whether you perceive coriander as soapy or not. This receptor responds to the specific aldehydes in coriander. Incidentally, these are the same aldehydes that are also found in soap. Perhaps this is why there is such a strong reaction: our brain thinks we are eating soap and reacts with strong defenses to protect us.

I've been trying to replicate a simple jerk chicken sandwich from a beach stand in Jamaica for years.

Grilled chicken with onions on a regular hot dog bun/roll. Simple, spicy, flavorful, tangy, citric, and with a touch of anise and balanced.

May have try this sauce too.

The recipe was great. Thank you. I forgot to take a pic after it was done and now it’s all eaten but this was a pic from right before it went in the oven.

Looks excellent, glad you gave it a whirl! The rice really soaks up the sauce well too.

You can still take a photo, you know--those stomach scopes that gastroenterologists use have a dual purpose...

 

[LeafErikson]

Looks excellent

It certainly was. I wish I had more of the broth/sauce that’s in the pan once it’s done cooking. That stuff was incredible.

Yum!!!

I was actually going to take a crack at this over the weekend, but the wife has the flu and made her some homemade chicken noodle soup today. She's the chicken fan, so didn't want to waste your dish when she's not feeling well.
