Jerk Chicken Recipe FAQs

What is jerk chicken?

Jerk chicken is a popular Caribbean dish made with chicken marinated in a spicy, flavourful jerk seasoning. Traditionally grilled or barbecued, it has a smoky, slightly charred finish. The marinade includes ingredients like Scotch bonnet chillies, allspice, garlic, and thyme, giving it its signature bold taste.

Is jerk chicken spicy?

Yes, jerk chicken is typically spicy due to the Scotch bonnet chillies used in the marinade. However, the heat level can be adjusted by using fewer chillies or adding a touch of sweetness, such as honey or pineapple juice, to balance the spice.

Why is it called jerk chicken?

The name 'jerk' comes from the traditional Jamaican cooking method of jerking, which involves marinating meat with a special spice blend and slow-cooking it over a fire or grill. The word itself is believed to have originated from the Spanish term charqui, meaning dried or preserved meat, which evolved into jerk over time.
