The Jerk Chicken Kings of Jamaica

In this episode of Street Food Icons, we head to Kingston, Jamaica, and get a taste of Hopeton and his son, Glenville's, pan chicken. The father-son duo and a handful of others serve up some of the tastiest and most popular pan chicken on the island. Sean Paul, Usain Bolt, weekend party-goers, and even politicians flock to Northside Chicken to eat this single-menu-item delicacy seasoned with thyme and scotch bonnets, then grilled on cleaned-out oil drums.

@@xlxl9440 It is incorrect... the native people, the Tainos, made jerk chicken and pork long before (thousands of years before) the Spanish brought African slaves to the Caribbean. Jerk has zero roots in "plantations" or with African blacks, slaves, or west African cuisine. Jerk itself uses all spice and scotch bonnet, both of which are native to those islands.

Jerk chicken is hands down the best way to cook chicken. There's so much flavour in jerk chicken that it boggles my mind how some people can bbq chicken with a different sauce/seasoning. Jerk is like the endgame of seasoning. It's cool to get a glimpse at what real Jamaican jerk chicken looks like.

100% The seasoning and fire are made for each other

To bad the video shows pan chicken not jerk chicken

[@nicholas6900]

@Foreign Link PeriPeri portuguese chicken is alright but it just doesn't have that spicy/tangy heat. PLUS most places don't even marinate the chicken in PeriPeri sauce. They always serve it in a plastic bowl and the chicken is just slow roasted.
