Cant get enough! Spatchcocked a chicken, smothered it and left it for 24hrs, amazing! Even my Rottie Dave loves it!

I added the OJ as suggested and marinaded a tri-tip and some chicken halves. Really good recipe. I might calm down the heat of the Scotch Bonnets to something milder for dip sauce use but yeah, another top recipe. Thanks for that one.

Awesome, I have used Jamaican Jerk rubs in the past. I now have added some ingredients to my shopping list for tomorrow, will report back....Looks great. Thanks for that.

This looks amazing! I have been considering making jerk chicken but I am the only one in my household that love spicy food.

[Firevine]

Heck yeah I'm going to make this. I've got everything on hand. Jerk sauce is amazing, but we don't have a Jamaican place anywhere close to us, so looks like I've got to do it myself.

[MrTapanes]

[onlyychevys]

Been waiting for a recipe like this. Thanks.

I’ve been making and cooking with jerk sauce for months now but I haven’t been making it like this now I want to try it 😊😊

Very similar to what I have made for years, I never did red onion, but did more scallions. So that will be interesting to try for me. Also I tend to use a lot more all spice then you have hear. My flavor profile of my sauce is all spice/habenero/lime. I love marinating this on some chicken thighs and toss on the grill. I prefer to score the skin side of the thigh to the bone to let the marinade penetrate a little more. It can be painful chicken depending on your heat level!

Hey my dude, have you ever had a Jamaican spicy beef patty? I think you'd like it, they're really good and flavorful, with a nice amount of heat. Could be something interesting to make on your channel one day. Have a good day

Jamaican's are all about the Scotch Bonnet pepper, and can quickly distinguish a Habanero and a Scotch Bonnet. They will not be fooled. I tried once making a jerked goat stew for my Jamaican cousin-in-law and couldn't find a Scotch Bonnet to save my soul. So, I figured I'd substitute a Habanero. He took one taste and thanked me for my effort, but said "that's not a Scotch Bonnet". At least he appreciated my effort 🙂

I was waiting for the jerk chicken reference, and there it was at the end. I have a similar recipe from a Caribbean cookbook. Definitely add the OJ. If you make this, you need to have fresh spices...nothing you dug out of the back of your cupboard from the Obama administration. Spend a little coin on fresh ingredients and this will blow your mind. I've even used this as a marinade for a whole beer can chicken. Reserve some of the marinade to boil in a saucepan so you can serve it with the bird, the rest goes in the beer can. This is also epic as a marinade for ribs. In either the chicken or the rib case, let it marinate overnight.

Just a word of advice to those working with hot peppers such as Jalapeno, Scotch Bonnets, Habaneros, Carolina Reapers or any other very hot pepper. Be very cautious when cutting up the peppers. Do not touch your face or eyes during that process. Wash your hands, knives and surfaces after cutting these peppers and before proceeding. Especially the Scotch Bonnets, Habaneros and Carolina Reapers because they *will* *hurt* *you* These peppers are harmless as long as the skin is intact but once you cut them or break the skin, just think bear spray.

That’s good I love spicy food that’s my speciality.
So, it’s good to eat it freshly sauce or to put it on fire?
