YARDIES Jerk Chicken Recipe

Jerk is more than a seasoning, it is a way of preparing food.

The jerk technique involves marinating meat, typically chicken, pork or fish, in a special blend of spices and herbs, often including a combination of Scotch bonnet pepper, allspice (also known as Jamaican pepper), onion, garlic, thyme and other ingredients. This marinade imparts an intense aroma and spicy flavor to the meat.

The marinated meat is then grilled or smoked over a wood fire, often using allspice wood to create the distinctive smoky flavor. The slow and low cooking method helps keep the meat juicy and the flavors penetrate deeply.
