the country is saltfish <strong>and</strong> ackee, but there<br />

may not know. Find out the five popular<br />
Jamaican recipes that you should try at<br />
home.<br />
1. JERK CHICKEN<br />
For its smoky flavour <strong>and</strong> spiciness, jerk chicken is loved<br />
by most Jamaicans <strong>and</strong> those who visit the isl<strong>and</strong>. Many<br />
think that this unique characteristic is due to the secret<br />
seasoning ingredients. Pimento berries, scotch bonnet<br />
pepper, ginger, thyme <strong>and</strong> onion, are a staple in this<br />
dish, but for best results, you might want to marinate the<br />
meat evenly <strong>and</strong> for a longer time to let the meat absorb<br />
all the flavours.<br />
The hours of marinating the meat will bring out the fine<br />
flavours of this delicious dish. Then, you slow cook jerk<br />
chicken on the grill. But if you don’t have pimento wood,<br />
you can also cook jerk chicken in the oven or on a grill.<br />
Don’t forget the jerk sauce, though.<br />
If you love Jamaican food, you should try cooking this<br />
marinade recipe at home. For sure, even your kids will<br />
love the fresh but spicy flavour. All the ingredients <strong>and</strong><br />
spices create a well-balanced <strong>and</strong> incredible dish. Are<br />
you planning for a party this weekend? Add jerk chicken<br />
on your list!<br />
However, you might be asking, “Can I use boneless<br />
chicken?” Yes, you can use boneless chicken breast,<br />
but make sure that you don’t marinate for more than<br />
six hours. On the other h<strong>and</strong>, some people also use<br />
chicken thighs for roasting or grilling. You can marinate<br />
the chicken thigh meat for up to 12 hours.<br />
For the locals, they pair it with rice <strong>and</strong> peas or festivals<br />
for that fine Caribbean meal. Feel inspired in this video<br />
