This is a great recipe. But, the essential ingredient for truly Authentic Jerk Chicken is cooking over PIMENTO WOOD. Pimento wood is wood from the Jamaican Allspice tree and gives Jerk it’s unique flavor. Google pimento wood – easy to order

Walkerswood Caribbean Kitchen marinade is my absolute favorite. To kick it up i add a little more cayenne pepper. You can’t really go wrong with this recipe! It’s moist, juicy, and a delicious flavor.
I LET IT MARINATE FOR ABOUT 18 HOURS . IT WAS OOO SO GOOD ! MY SON SAID IT TASTED LIKE TURKEY. IT WAS JUCEY AN I WILL FIX THIS AGAIN !
Just as good and authentic as any you will find. Finding the Walkerswood seasoning is key…I’m sure I saw it on Amazon. Also, if you can find the Walkerswood Jerk BBQ sauce, get it!!! Not too hot-it uses bananas to cool the jerk seasonings a bit!!
