How to Make JERK CHICKEN at Home.

Jerk Chicken is a popular Jamaican dish, made by marinating chicken overnight, and cooking it in a smoker over pimento/allspice wood. For most of us, pimento wood in inaccessible so this is not an authentic Jamaican recipe. It is, however, extremely delicious and will have you feeling like you're on the beach in Jamaica, with a Red Stripe in hand. Enjoy Kevin's take on Jamaican Jerk Chicken with a Trinbagonian kick!
What you need:
- 6 lbs of chicken (cleaned & washed- keep the skin on)
-6 stalks of chive/scallion
-2 heads of garlic
-4-6 pimento peppers*
-a handful of thyme
-2 tablespoons of allspice berries
-a few scotch bonnet peppers (OR habanero peppers which are traditionally used)
-1 onion
-2 inch piece of fresh ginger
-10-15 shadon beni/bandhania/culantro/recao/ ngo gai/sawtooth coriander leaves (substitute with cilantro)*
-1/4 cup of brown sugar
-1 cup of oil
-1/2 cup of dark soy sauce
-1 teaspoon of cinnamon
-1 teaspoon of nutmeg
-Salt & black pepper
For the JERK SAUCE:
-3 tablespoons of sugar
-1 cup of pineapple juice (or orange juice)
-1 cup of BBQ sauce or ketchup
-1/3 of the marinade
*- Optional

Thank you for watching, everyone! Throughout the video we mentioned that this is just Kevin's take and by no means an authentic recipe. Authentic Jerk Chicken is cooked over pimento wood and made without the use of pimento peppers and shadon beni/bandhania. This video is not meant to offend anyone. Enjoy, and happy cooking! Love, Reshmi.

How to make buffalo wings

[@laja82]

I'm Jamaican and I use pimento pepper in my jerk seasoning. We understand that making authentic jerk outside of Jamaica is difficult because of the pimento wood requirement. It's all good.

[@XxStrattaGxX]

1:47 : There Is Nothing Wrong With Using Ground Cinnamon Kevin! Especially When You Have The Sticks! Use The Ground Cinnamon On The Chicken... Save The Cinnamon Sticks & All Spice Cloves/Berries & Soak Them In Water! & When Your Coals Are Ready For The Chicken! Throw The Soaked Cinnamon Sticks & All Spice Cloves On The Coal... It Will Smoke & Make Up The Flavor WithOut Using Pimento Wood If You Can't Get It! & This Channel Shows The Exact Way Prepare My Jerk Chicken But I Also Do A Dry Rub With My Jerk First... Cut The Meat To The Bone ! A+++ !!! Peace & Blessings

laja82 how to make Jamaican jerk seasoning

[@pattagwu]

Taste of Trini sorry to bother when you put the chicken on the other side for indirect grilling, what is the total time does it take to cook and how often are you flipping the chicken. The chicken looks amazing

[@junesammy-robidoux2305]

Yessssss now my mouth watering, good job Kevin. Very good job on your step by step clear instructions.

[@brigettegriffiths464]

One of the BEST demonstrations of jerk chicken I have seen beautifully explained clean, with lots of good explanation very well done

I'm Jamaican, and when I cater that's my clients #1 request

[@garyhall6294]

Can I use breasts with skin on?

[@sensimania]

@@garyhall6294 Yes. They didn't take the skin off in the video (see 8:05). However, it is recommended that when rubbing the seasoning onto the chicken, you try to get some under the skin or at least cut a couple of slits into the chicken (with a knife) so that the seasoning really gets in there

[@mrsmith4355]

The lady's voice at the end definitely does a good job & turns the mood up🔥 to tuck into them chicken

[@resavilama2370]

i enjoyed your vidio on making jerk chi chicken your ingridents was quite inteteresting.i would sirely try it.Do you know that jerk cooking was originated from the Maroons in jamica?i now live in toronto but i was borned in guyana.

[@trini2deeboneify]

That chicken recipe is not offending me at all! If any offense is that I wasn’t enjoying some😁 myself. Looks delicious! I’m gonna use this for one of my chicken recipes for my birthday party. Thanks for sharing.

[@KenUbeleveit1]

I don't have pineapple juice. Will fresh squeezed lime or lemon juice be ok?

[@suzych]

Kevin great recipe! Resh this was very refreshing to watch. Happy Easter ToT fam!

[@AjalaKingsGreenstream]

In jamaica we poke the chicken instead of scoring but I guess it serves the same purpose.

[@mrsmith4355]

These look as delicious as my own so definitely a good video😂🤣👍🏾

That looked good dude. I’m gonna try it.

[@normaaustin9171]

[@almightygaming5971]

Taste of Jamaica….. question: why you didn’t put any dry run seasoning on the chicken first before you pour the blended seasoning on it?

[@kerryann2456]

Great, now I gotta make this!! Looks delish!

[@josephjude1290]

Great recipe! The hotter the better

[@sensimania]

Can I use a mixture of ketchup and bbq sauce in the marinade (instead of one or the other)? Also, I plan on making this, but only about 3 cups worth. How many cup measurements does this recipe produce (roughly)?

[@thelog86]

Great job. After the essential ingredients you can customize it to your own taste. Its all authentic if you like it

[@cesarsolino4346]

Very nice !!!!broo

[@brendaphillip417]

Hi Kevin, great job, can this be made in the oven as I don't have a barbecue grill, I live in an apartment building, at what temperature can i bake this?

Can't get that wood here where I am so what type of wood can be used to cook this do u think because I don't like using charcoal. Maybe a fruit wood like apple, cherry etc ? Thanks Kevin

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey, the best type is apple wood or pecan 🙂

[@rknow9724]

Yo man After the oignon ... You Say pandania ?? The plant its pandan?

[@xlxl9440]

Here in the southeast U.S. We obviously don't have Pimento or Allspice wood that we have regular access to. What type of wood can we use like Hickory, Cherry, Peach, or Pecan wood that we can smoke on the coals to give a similar flavor profile? BTW; I LOVE smoking wings! And I love Jerk seasoning even though I am from the southern U.S. Tennessee, and Live in the Atlanta area. I feel that there are A LOT of similarities between Southern Soul cuisine, and Caribbean cuisine. I definitely want to explore this further. Any ideas on the wood to smoke?

[@nalinisadloo3945]

Looks so delicious 😋

All spice berries maybe hard for me to find. Is there a good alternative?

We also had trouble finding it but eventually we did! Just look in the big groceries and you should be able to find it.

Hey, so I found the "Karibbean Flavours" brand the last time I was there. Check the spice section. It might be listed as Pimento or Allspice.

Okay thank you I will!
