Bold, smoky and fiery, the taste of Jamaica. Marinated chicken cooked until the edges char and the inside stays juicy.
Did you know?
Jerk cooking was developed by the Maroons, people who escaped enslavement in 17th century Jamaica and hid in the Blue Mountains. They slow-cooked meat over pimento wood with Scotch bonnet peppers, deliberately using a smokeless technique so the cooking fire wouldn't reveal their location.
