Jamaican Jerk chicken stew
Print is recipe
Jamaican jerk seasoning is a staple in Caribbean countries. There are as many versions as villages. Caribbean food is renowned for the use of Allspice berries combined with black pepper and scotch bonnet or habanero chilies to flavour their dishes. While this combination might sound too hot for western taste buds. The hot chilli can be added towards the end of the cooking so you can adjust the heat from mild to super hot. Chicken is favorite meat and the spicy Jamaican jerk marinade is sweetened with the addition of orange and lime juice and soy sauce. This dish is very easy to make and can be served with mashed potato, pasta, or rice, making it a good mid-week family meal.
The dry spice rub also works well as a bbq spice dry rub.
