Jamaican Jerk Chicken
Grilled Jerk Chicken Jerked Chicken can either be baked in the oven or on a grill. I like to season my chicken the same day I take it home from the groceries. All my meats are soaked in vinegar water before seasoning You can also soak your meat in lemon or lime juice. I don't like handling raw meat twice so I properly seasoned and put away in the freezer until I am ready to cook. The more it's marinated, the better it is. Jerk chicken is all about the seasoning and spice that is used to get that unique taste. It won't be jerk chicken unless you use those unique blend of Jamaican spices.
