How to Make Jamaican Jerk Chicken
Jerk seasoning is a sweet and spicy blend of allspice, chili peppers (preferably scotch bonnet), fresh ginger, and a hint of brown sugar. Start marinating the chicken the day before for maximum flavor. Cooking on the grill adds a nice smoky flavor, but you could also bake the chicken in the oven.
