Jamaican jerk chicken

Jamaican jerk chicken is a flavorful Caribbean dish characterized by its bold, smoky, and spicy taste. It involves marinating chicken in a blend of ingredients like allspice, thyme, Scotch bonnet peppers, garlic, ginger, and other spices. The marinade infuses the meat with warmth and depth, while the chicken is traditionally grilled over pimento wood or charcoal to develop a smoky aroma. The result is tender, juicy chicken with a distinctive spicy and aromatic flavor profile that reflects Jamaica’s rich culinary heritage.
