Originating from Jamaica, this dish combines aromatic spices with the smoky goodness of traditional grilling techniques.
If you've ever wanted to bring a taste of the Caribbean into your own kitchen, here’s how you can make authentic Jamaican jerk chicken in just two simple steps.
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
Cover the bowl or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, depending on the size of the pieces.
This dish pairs wonderfully with traditional sides like rice and peas, fried plantains, or a crisp garden salad.
