I'm Jamaican and I loved this video. I like the idea of our cuisine being made in a different way that might even seem more accessible and less intimidating to other cultures. You did a great job...even allowing hours for the chicken to marinate which is exactly how I cook it :)

[@donnafassano163]

That's exactly it. This recipe is much less intimidating to us "non Jamaicans". Lol. So nice to see someone who gets it instead of being insulted that the recipe is "not how their mother does it". Thank you!

[@kyllie1234]

Y'all be asking her to cook different cuisines from around the world, but when she does, y'all wanna get mad because it's not how YOU cook it. Like, damn you don't have to cook the recipe exactly the way it is. I'm sure majority of y'all people commenting, cooked something before & changed part of the recipe around to fit your taste or liking. Let Laura live! Laura, you did a great job, don't worry. Btw, she did say it wasn't authentic, so y'all need to stop coming at her. It's not that serious.

[@marylorraine209]

RIGHT!

[@Jacinto5Mantaring]

my nigga you a straight out hypebeast

[@Jacinto5Mantaring]

+Bria Carter nothing about Laura. you a hypebeast

[@kyllie1234]

+Jacinto5Mantaring umm ok ? bye Felicia!

[@Jacinto5Mantaring]

+Bria Carter we killing HYPEBEASTS on a daily

[@Yaasmeen96]

As a Jamaican this looks delicious, for it to be more authentic I would use scotch bonnet instead of habanero pepper , orange juice instead of lime (I'd never use lemon or lime ) and scallion instead of onion. For the rice and peas creamed coconut works MUCH better (it comes in a block) it will be a lot more coconuty also I add thyme :) thank you for making a Jamaican dish Laura ! X

[@ShesMakinDough]

yumm, thanks for sharing sounds delicious!

[@avasd59]

so far I've only come across recipes that use lime, even the ones that claimed to be Authentic..Orange juice sounds interesting😳! I wish I could go to Jamaica and have some real jerk chicken

[@jadeguevara4610]

another tip is to puncture the chicken so the marinade really soaks in...

[@jadeguevara4610]

and doing it over a grill

[@kellylynn5597]

+lamllemaussade I live in CT and my mom grows Scotch Bonnet in the garden during the summer and we freeze them and use them all year round :)

[@InTheKitchenWithJonny]

Authentic or not, these dish looks to die for. Loved it all 👌🏻😋

[@curlygirlbeautygeek]

I just need you to know. I watched every single episode while I was pregnant. My daughter has heard your intro sooooo much from when I was pregnant and after she was born that she literally RUNS to the computer wherever I'm watching to make sure she watches with me.

[@kellylynn5597]

So cute 😍

[@Womanist]

Deborah King Really???😲😲😲😲

[@KSGomez88]

Omg same here! Sorry I know you commented this 5 years ago, but my daughter knows Laura's intro because I played it when I was pregnant with her 3 years ago 🤣

[@curlygirlbeautygeek]

@@KSGomez88 girl she still does it and she gets upset cause she can’t play with Laura’s daughter. Lololol

[@KSGomez88]

@@curlygirlbeautygeek omg too funny!! She misses the intro music 😭

[@FG77-]

As someone from the Caribbean, with a Caribbean food business (so I like to think this is one thing I know a bit about!) - I applaud you, Laura. I have been a fan of yours for years, and whilst this may not be classed as authentic, it's one of the best 'non-authentic' takes of one of our dishes I have seen online. Great video!

[@IndoPersian1969]

+Rayna Miller I love this recipe, and Ms. Laura...but would love to know your take on what an authentic jerk chicken recipe is. Wanna share a link here? Please and thank you!

[@charissaclemetson]

Hi Laura , I'm Jamaican, so glad to see this recipe and to see lots of other Jamaicans commenting :) For the rice and peas you should definitely try red kidney beans or gungo peas (not sure if you can get that in the US). Also, traditional rice and peas has seasonings in it like thyme, escallion (whole stalks of it but mashed with something hard so the oils are released), a whole Scotch Bonnett pepper, some persons also use ginger. Funny enough I just got home and planned on making this exact thing for dinner today, then I saw your video! Love from Kingston!!

[@travonjones]

Shut up

[@_aliyaxs96]

As someone from a family from the Caribbean you did a great job, you can make a few tweaks here and there to make it more authentic but for your version you did a great job and it looks yummy!

[@smcaine]

Laura, I love your courage taking on these cultural dishes. Don't pay attention to the critics, its your take and don't apologize for it. My Jamaican Grandmother always wore rubber gloves when dealing with Scotch Bonnet peppers. So much better in the summer on the grill, served with rice & peas (seasoned with thyme and green onion) and coleslaw.

[@carlamendeztt]

U need to come to the Caribbean and try more Caribbean foods! Definitely want to try this one. Suggestion: trini foods next time 😀

[@ShesMakinDough]

doubles! :)

[@ScarlesCorner]

Dominican food too

[@TheSP1990]

laura has always since the beginning incorporated different foods from around the world on her channel I love her for that!!

[@ChantayLainey]

As a Jamaican and someone who LOVES your videos, seeing this video pop up from you was exciting. You should definitely plan a vacation to come to Jamaica.. You'd love it!

[@keylaarmah1635]

I seriously need to STOP watching Laura at 12:12am!!!

[@hirramalik9079]

y u watching her anyway I clicked by mistake my dog cooks better than her

[@JewelsFromVenus]

+Hirra Malik thats so rude...I've made several of her dishes and she is wonderful

[@trinity20201]

I've been waiting for you to do a Caribbean dish, and oh em gee, this is absolutely fabulous.

[@SamuelBarrPhotography]

Girl, I am in love! Where have you been all of my life. Great video and thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@Naelyn718]

thats a very interesting version of rice and peas... love seeing people of other cultures enjoy our food, but there is so much more to Jamaican cuisine. Laura you have got to try some oxtail and rice and peas, i just know you will love it.

[@neoandlykkecat]

I love chicken, so this is perfect for me. Thank you soo much, Laura! Lots og hugs from Norway.

[@vailla7389]

+wwefan55 WTF

[@tatoshkingdom31]

Chicken's don't like dying just to satisfy your taste buds. Do you know what kind of hell an animal had to go through so that you can eat it? Jerk.

[@mijnkanaal4393]

+Ariadna Tskhovrebova do you know what kind of hell the children went through to make your clothes, your sneakers, your television and your iPhone?

[@tatoshkingdom31]

Mijnkanaal lmao. Did a child have to get enslaved, tortured, slaughtered, killed, ect???? Don't think so. #govegan

[@tatoshkingdom31]

+WaywardPash Cool story bro. That's a great reason to continue to kill animals!

[@koukimarwa1843]

im from Tunisia and i always watching you,THANK YOU LAURA

[@jerrytaylor9901]

Lauryn is so awesome! Outstanding dish.

[@PatBarr55]

I love you Laura. I have been bing watching you for a month. You have great recipes and a wonderful family. You make things look so easy and delicious!

[@petravandermeulen4955]

I boiled the coconut milk with pimentos, thyme, and a few green onions with chicken broth before adding the rice. It was so fragrant! Loved the chicken too! It's a keeper recipe. Thank you so much!

[@neharoxx1]

I was waiting for you to deglaze the baking pan in which you cooked chicken with wine or stock :o so.much flavor stuck on the insides! and then pour the juices over the plated dish 😍

[@TheSP1990]

+HPForever(neharocks\m/) yea pour it all over the chicken and rice yummm

[@kellylynn5597]

Omg you're adorable cutting around the pepper and using tongs 😂 I love you! In Jamaica we use Scotch Bonnet and put the whole pepper in it

[@jdljm]

Looks delicious Laura !!! I love this woman !!

[@oumousolo7935]

Give this a thumbs up, block the HATERS

[@TheMeliaz]

I love her double recipes!

[@samanthabarrett8622]

Hi Laura, I'm Jamaican. I love how u put ur own twist on the classic. how we normally eat it here is with bread, because we usually buy it from a food vendor on the street straight from the jerk pan... but u should try the kidney beans (red peas).... very traditional in Jamaica

[@tashnahylton7610]

Wow! You mentioned Jamaica. it's great to see you making something I am beyond familiar with lol.

[@NireshaFalls]

great job lauara!! i love your take on this classic recipe. You go girl

[@peacelove8796]

Laura , you are the best !!! Thank you for sharing .

[@gaile2241]

both the chicken and the rice look so flavorful

[@jadeguevara4610]

it taste wonderful too. though traditionally in jamaica we use kidney beans with the rice and not the ones in the tin either.

[@kellylynn5597]

If you grind the allspice in a coffee grinder it makes a HUGE difference 💕

[@Ahavameanslove24]

My Mom does that with pimento seed

[@kellylynn5597]

+Ahavameanslove24 pimento is the same as allspice

[@awesomeskylineally]

Laura is so great to see you cooking Caribbean food next time you are cooking the coconut rice try it with the green pigeon peas what you used there is the dried pigeon peas. The green pigeon peas much sweeter and so much more delicious and red beans awesomeeee. Hugs Alli

[@sunvavachi]

I am so happy to see you creating and exploring!! You should try southern Vietnamese and southern Indian food!!! :)...love your work!!!

[@sedric3866]

Am grenadian you did well on the jerk chicken.you can season your rice and peas with onion,fresh thyme. very nice.try making caribbean stew chicken.

[@andrewsmylie2205]

Love that she caught herself before she ended up saying "Don't touch it and then touch yourself" hahaha

[@amandaroserita]

Jerk chicken is soooo good! I went to Jamaica in 2010 and I did bring home the seasonings and marinades for jerk chicken from the locals but I ran out forever ago! Thanks! if you love jerk chicken you should pick up some Jerk Turkey at your deli counter, Boars Head usually has it! So good as well!

[@ThatstheMoto]

I think you should fly to Jamaica Laura. It's only a forty-five minute flight from Miami plus there are a million different versions. My Old Man likes it in a smoker and I marinate boneless skinless chicken breast overnight with cilantro, sage, cardamom, garlic, salt and smoked paprika. Place the chicken in a smoker all day and use Basmati Rice and Lentils for the peas and rice. I use coconut milk and mangos with crushed ice for a smoothie. But that's the way my grandpa likes his jerk chicken.

[@kimsujie5932]

what would've i done if i haven't known this chanel!! my husband is irish and im korean and i always follow laura's recipes and never ever fail!! my korean families and friends even want me to open up a restaurant! xD Always appreciate for the great recipes laura!! xx

[@sandy-k1n]

Great recipe Laura.I'm from ST Thomas US Virgin Island. so we eat a lot of west Indian food this looks delish Thanks for sharing !

[@Sinisterial88]

I absolutely love your recipes and the vitales :) love how close you are with your family in italy too. it is a pleasure to watch :) keep doing what you do

[@Preetpandher9]

Watching you cook is a treat that I don't like to miss, you are natural no shabang about you. And I am so going to make it this weekend minus the rice for me. Love

[@cora_kathlena]

Laura you aren't using the line squeezer backward. That's the proper way to put it. You put the cut side towards the holes.

[@MiSzCASSiEx3]

+Everyday Kathlena she said she uses it backwards lol. no need to state it again.

[@Onekitchenblogfood]

Beautiful looking jerk chicken Laura! and those rice, yummy!

[@arushimehora2110]

Been waiting for the recipe ever since u posted the pic on Instagram!! Love it Laura❤️ I'm definitely making it... Looks beyond amazing!

[@TheDevilDarling]

that looks amazing! I've never had jerk chicken before and will have to try it. love the rice too.

[@shellyannweddingriley1935]

For the rice, a whole green pepper can be added, a slice of green bell pepper would be a nice substitute. We usually add a pat of butter/margarine/oil to the rice water and skellion and thyme and garlic. We really spice up our rice water for amazing flavour.

[@mubahbape4008]

I've been following u for over a year now nd u r so amazing I always rely on ur recipes so much love

[@tisel10]

I'm loving the Caribbean food ! I'm Guyanese currently attending university in Jamaica :D

[@michaeld5322]

wow, that looks excellent laura, love it !

[@monicaurcelay626]

I love you and so do all the people i cook for. Thank you for helping me fool everyone into thinking I'm a great cook :)

[@lutz18692]

This looks like it could use a nice sauce from the fond in that roasting pan!

[@choclatina40]

looks delicious Laura. there is a Puerto Rican version of this dish made with sofrito instead of jerk seasoning that is almost identical and delicious also. I'm excited to try this new version thank you for sharing it.

[@Ingridlosneslokken]

That rice looks so good!!

[@MsTrish-ne9ew]

Thank you Laura, looks GREAT!! Now, I have some idea on how to make this dish.

[@RoniForeva]

Hey Laura here is a tip used in Caribbean & African kitchens, make slices in the chicken and marinade for as long as possible, it helps the marinade go in the chicken.

[@anitawoodall6667]

thank you so much for all your recipe,all delicious, God bless

[@stardust-mf1oq]

I've waited a long time for Laura to do a Jamaican recipe!

[@tinychef8256]

When you make jerk chicken, it's best if you use scotch bonnet peppers, pimento seeds, scallions, and orange juice with ginger.

[@janecole87]

+Judas Iscariot if you're making a Jamaican recipe . It's best to use what is use to make the dish. If not it's not what you say it is . Period

[@ShesMakinDough]

Oh my goodness! looks delicious!

[@peterprach]

Going to try this! Super excited.

[@heatherlinton6927]

I will definitely have to try making this version of your rice..... I love rice hmm! And especially sticky rice now and then. 🙏 Thank you Laura 🇿🇦

[@ardentdfender4116]

Am caribbean myself, your dish take looks great. I would say use fresh Thyme in the jerk sauce, its so much better with fresh thyme. As well with the rice dish, you can big up the flavor of the rice by adding some Thyme and Garlic to the rice. Love watching you cook.

[@sandyg.7317]

Looks very delicious! I think I might try making this dish!

[@LLROCKS23]

it looks terrific!!, I have been waiting for you to post this recipe, thank you Laura :)

[@punki2cute456]

Laura! U need to take a trip to Jamaica u will loovve our cuisine! Thanks for the great recipe! Love from JA ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@Lizzard320]

Would love to have more crock pot recipes 😻

[@kellylynn5597]

The secret to Rice and Peas is onion soup mix and if you ever go to Jamaica you need to get some jerk spice and jerk chicken from Boston Jerk Centre it's the best!

[@MsTyanaG]

im from Jamaica 👋👋...its like a tradition to make chicken and rice and peas for sunday dinner ....we dnt normally use sugar tho for jerk chicen but that most make it taste amazinggg ...plus for the rice we normally just pick a coconut and blend the coconut meat(the inside) with water and strain it into the pot...we then add scallions and tyme and pimento and salt and then the peas or added and this is normally placed in a pressure cooker then later on the rice is added ...after a couple minutes and the rice is cooked a plastic clear bag is place over the rice and then that's it

[@MsTyanaG]

u did and amazing job btw ..it looks delicious

[@victoriacasey]

I put my lemons and limes upside down in my juicer too. it really does work better!

[@WaywardPash]

I don't believe you've done a meat dish in a while (besides the pepperoni bites recipe, which looks great, btw), so this is a welcome addition to the channel :) Love that it's simple and quick to do.

[@roofoochoo]

Looks so yummy

[@RayyDomB]

hey laura just to let you when making the rice u should bring the peas and your co-co nut mixture to a boil with salt and pepper then add your rice .

[@kadii2natalie]

Laura vitali, you have not been to my country Jamaica, not accepted at all. You got to come here because you will love our food. You will be amaze to see how we make our jerk chicken. I am giving you an open invitation.

[@SMOnEy83]

what about me? I want to come back there. Ocho Rios was sooooo amazing :)

[@kadii2natalie]

+Wow try Kingston and Negril next time when you come #amazing!

[@SMOnEy83]

I recently met a woman from Jamaica and she said to go to Kingston as well. When we went to Ocho Rios we were told never to go into the city of Kingston because there's a chance to get shot or robbed. Especially with us being white people

[@kadii2natalie]

+Wow LIES they tell! I live in Kingston so I won't even comment on that. Kingston is just our time square of New York. It is where all the activities go on. It has more places to hang out and to see other than Ochi.

[@SMOnEy83]

:)

[@oumousolo7935]

I love her show

[@adinntz]

I have a BBQ this weekend and this is simply perfect

[@davingoberdhan3493]

I make this all the time BUT Only on the grill ...Garlic, Thyme, Habanero Pepper (abt 3-5), scallions, onions, salt, black pepper, all spice, granulated garlic, Sou Sauce (sometimes I use mushroom soy sauce)

[@poortichopra2864]

Weird I know: But I am in love with how you said "Massage"

[@poet2frogs]

This recipe is so, so good! We made it three days ago and now my family wants it again tonight. Yummy!!!!

[@werethemcs1664]

I'm Jamaican,this is a very good take on one of our favorites. another thing you can add to the marinate is pimento seeds,this will add even more Jamaican flavour. for the rice you can also add thyme,escallion and a little bit of sugar :) visit us some day!

[@s.affira]

Whuuut?! Laura making jerk chicken! 😱👌🏽

[@candybui9516]

I tried out this recipe exactly like how she made it and I suggest adding one table spoon MORE of the coconut milk because I barely tasted coconut in the rice

[@d.e.5405]

in Jamaica we normally eat this on Sunday it's delicious

[@utube9327]

That looks so good! Going to try it for sure!!

[@jonathanqin8714]

I'm a kid and I love to cook especially your recipes. My parents are both from China and I get to eat authentic Chinese food every day. If you make any Chinese food and I have an authentic recipe maybe I could share it with you.

[@giaguido608]

Looks amazing!!!!!! Great job💗💗 Can u plzz do a video on beef stock?!!

[@ShantelSibandaArt]

LAURA YOU DID THATTTTTT

[@moonmamamonet]

*touches pepper like three times* "and see I never touched the habanero!" Lol :))))

[@ZeroHootsGiveth]

+LauraintheKitchen Thank you for the idea! Looks delicious. I'm going to try and find a scotch bonnet pepper to add to the marinade instead of a habanero.

[@MsAnna718]

I'm of Jamaican decent and we would normally use the jerk seasoning that comes in the jar but this way looks amazing also 😀

[@kelseyl288]

MsAnna718 is there a certain brand that you use?

[@OurFamilyHomeLife]

This looks so good!

[@arissabj]

I had to use the broiler for a few minutes but they came out great! and so did the rice

[@arissabj]

I used black eyed peas instead of kidney or pigeon peas. it was a nice substitution

[@renebeckett-cotton4359]

and if you ever do get to do it on open fire, if possible, make sure it is a charcoal grill not gas. my dad uses pimento wood but if you can't get that charcoal is just fine. That's what most people use anyway

[@kjdee]

Come to Jamaica Laura! You'll love it here

[@hailie_Selassie]

We carribean people never use gloves when we cook with scotch bonnet pepper. All that you have to do is wash you hands with soap after touching it and you're gonna be good.

[@kpp0517]

no.

[@hailie_Selassie]

Layla J loll Do you know who is Hailie Selassié? And would be dictating me what to do?

[@dr.farahali6375]

I'm a vegetarian but I watch every video because it's like being at home and cooking with my family

[@anyacaccioppoli6589]

I was thinking that with a few modifications it could be done with tofu? I'm a vegetarian too and I like to watch the meat episodes too and see if its able to be vegetarian 😊

[@michellephillips-thompson9681]

Hey Laura. I am from Jamaica and I am about to make some Jerked Chicken legs right now. I am sure yours taste great but i wish i could send you some authentic jerk seasoning from Boston in Portland, which is the capital of Jerk. You also need a great recipe for Rice and Peas which i will send you.

[@SpoonForkHeart]

Looks so delicious :-)

[@chrisshoemaker3855]

I remember you talking about this at the book launch party in NYC!!

[@Mr-it6xk]

The coconut rice originally comes from Malaysia it is called Nasi Lemak we eat it with some Sambal , Nuts , Ikan Bilis and fragrance fried chicken
