Chef-jenkins plugin not recognising the jenkins parameter

I have installed the chef-client plugin (https://github.com/melezhik/chef-plugin/) on to Jenkins to be able to trigger the chef client run from Jenkins. I have configured a String parameter in the Jenkins job, and need to use that parameter as the ssh host for the chef client run in the job config.

But I am unable to reference the Jenkins parameters in the ssh host field of the chef plugin. I have tried the standard Jenkins way of referencing parameters as $PARAMETER and also the ruby way as env["PARAMETER"] but the ssh host is unable to recognise the parameter. Any help on how I could parameterise the ssh host field would be much appreciated.

Attaching some screenshots for more clarity.enter image description here

EDIT: Adding the console output:

Looking at the code on

https://github.com/melezhik/chef-plugin

it seems that parameters (which are used as environment variables) are not supported by this plugin (v.0.1.3)
