Levi Roots needs his own show.

[@stormitect6394]

Couldn't agree more.

[@MartinHarte]

He did many years ago

[@stormitect6394]

+Martin Harte I thought he was referring to Levi Roots. 😂

[@MartinHarte]

Haha

[@tauresattauresa7137]

he does!

[@TheFayeFairy]

"The wood is what determines the flavour of the jerk.." 😂😂 I know I should be mature but I burst out in laughter 🙈😂

[@chefcannan5695]

My love if it's not seasoned right you won't have any flavor except for the taste of the wood!

[@buckbumble]

Kemar McCallum does any seasoning come out of the wood into your mouth?

[@theme8390]

🤣 😅 I think say your comment gone flying pass some people heads ✈️ 😜

[@juanchoja]

Better cook it in the morning then, this is when I get the best wood.

[@axxmx2402]

🤣

[@garydaniels5662]

Are we going to be seeing more of Levi on here. This was only a short video, but boy does it put you in a happy place.

[@yavimurphy2965]

As a Jamaican, I approve. Jah bless

[@mademoiselle3000]

Jamie, I want to thank you for inviting a real jerk expert, Jamaican cook to make this recipe. You could have easily just done another water down version of this and you didn't. Big props.

[@sonamyangtsho5582]

Lol he made smth called jerk rice and sold it

[@WarriorPrinny]

The amount of innuendos and double entendres in this video is simply unbelievable.

wow levi even told him if there is no scout bonnet it’s not jerk back then aswell

[@anthonybradley1555]

The Jamaicans are very proud of jerk chicken i had the honor of being taught cookery by a nice lady called erica and when she left her last gift was teaching us how to cook jerk chicken just the juciest most tender chicken the spice blend with a generous amount of scotch bonnet made a spicy but piquant seasoning

[@mysteryman9641]

When you train to be a chef all your life and when you meet someone who has done it naturally as a part of life all their life without trying it really shows.

[@sandeepmatharu6604]

One trick pony

[@MrMikkyn]

I love Levi Roots. Thanks for introducing us to him Jamie!

[@quantumaquatic1767]

I never tried jerk chicken but tried this the exact same way it was made in this video and from the start of the marinade to the finish it was a wonderful and tasty experience. I got my hand behind his back on this recipe cause I know theres many other kinds but this one was the best so far. Other recipes I've looked at seemed so bland compared to this one. The ginger parsley and cilantro and coriander and allspice and chilies mix extremely well together and the honey and brown sugar gives a subtle sweetness and also helps lock kn the flavor into the skin and meat 👍👍👍👍

[@viveladecadence]

At long last there's a recipe on Food Tube that doesn't cautiously introduce its viewers to a single carefully chopped peperoni & like "but you can take out the seeds and the white pith to make it less hot" but straight away goes for chili flakes AND TWO SCOTCH BONNETS big-time stylee! I like! :)

[@enmin3043]

The best thing about your videos Jamie is that I can honestly "taste" the unique flavours of the dishes before I even start cooking

[@megazeus7972]

What a difference two years make!

[@justaddmusclecom]

Those Bonnets are so good. Tons of heat and Flavor together.

[@mc3939]

I tried this recipe, I rubbed chilies on chicken wings like Jamie did. My hands ended up burning for the whole week, I cried myself to sleep every night. Jamie!!! How did you do rubbing chili with your bare hands?!?!?!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Jamaican food and music is awesome. Great looking recipe.

[@alkhandanny2264]

Oh my god, Jamie! Gennaro's catchphrase lives inside you! And you should do more with Levi Roots, he's looks like a fun guy!

[@MNORONHA48]

Love levi roots

[@amandapadron4664]

i tried this recipe ! it came out deliscious . if you cant handle spicy , i recommend using only 1 habanero to substitute for the bonnet shallots. i believe thats what theyre called.

[@300ammedia2]

Omg please make a tv together. Best contrast of charachter

[@jsong21]

Jamie is the shiznit. Love this guy.

[@bigla4897]

You can replace the honey with a cooking oil or a little balsamic vinegar or just remove iy

[@linhdinh9454]

All the people on foodtube are such wonderfully warm and charismatic

[@FeelYourMeal]

Food and nature, it is a great combination ever

[@BrotherTree1]

Oldie but a goodie! And boy is it a goodie...

[@maiavanwaes7590]

Thx mates ! Was looking for some meat to cook for my boy on valentine's day and this is just the thing. Male food u know !!! Perfect !!

[@jonathansantos4796]

Tried this during quarantine. I deboned the chicken thigh and used only half a scotch bonnet bc I only had two chicken thighs. The heat is there but not overwhelming. Perfectly balanced. Your hands really do burn for a few hours afterwards. Would make again and highly recommend. Thank you both.

[@Food_Bev_Tube]

Levi has come a long way since his day on Dragons Denver with his famous Reggae Reggae Sauce. Proud to see her is doing well and on Jamie's FoodTube

[@JamalRice]

Rasta man eating Chicken? Bun Fyah!!!

[@kenRoberts1984]

I add a bit of dark and light soya sauce to this instead of salt. Gives it a better depth of flavour

[@11Khalid11]

Nope! Salt is better.

[@Reviewerarjun]

Lots of Love from india 🇮🇳😌😍

[@TheLeafSoup]

what would the best alternative to the pimento pepper be? if I can't find it

[@MotanulFritz2008]

It;s not a pepper, the name is misleading. It;s actually called 'allspice' or 'allspice berries'. As a substitution for 1 teaspoon of allspice, you can use 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves and a pinch of ground nutmeg. It's not the same, but the closest you can get.

[@JT-152]

Just made this absolutely amazing 💯👍🏽

[@Mani26031981]

Wonderful stuff mate...LOVE it when you get cooking with a friend of yours! One small question though...if you can't obtain Scotch Bonnet chillies, could you use Habanero chillies instead?

[@bullyinspace]

Yard cooking is the easiest tbf

[@Maddiie1]

Oh, so this is where it all started. Damn Jerk Rice.

[@sandy-k1n]

I love jerk chicken..Cause I'm from the carribean we eat it a lot. 👍😉With peas and rice and fried plantains. Yummy!!

[@democratictotalitariansoci1462]

it's not just you, everybody likes jerk

honestly if these two do a tv show it should have been on the spice channel if it were still around due to all the innuendos contained on this video alone!!

Brine your chicken with the same flavours for 24 hrs then marinate for another 24 hrs best jerk ever!

I wish it had all the amounts. How much parsley, coriander, pimento, black pepper and chicken

Anybody else find it awkward and laugh when the high five with Jamie saying "Brother" to Levi? lol
