I have two words for you—> FLAVOR. BOMB. The process is so simple. Throw a bunch of spices and peppers into a blender, pulse til smooth, throw it in a bag with some chicken and let it hang out in the fridge for a few hours… then grill it up. done, done, and done. So if you break it down it’s two parts. Part one) marinade, part two) chicken. And it’s that marinade that turns the chicken in a flavor bomb. Seriously, SO. MUCH. FLAVOR. It’s spicy with a little bit of sweetness and grilling gives the outside a nice crispness while the inside stays nice and juicy-tender. If you’ve never tried Jamaican jerk anything before, your mind is about to be blown. And don’t shy away from the ginger in this recipe! I generally don’t love ginger but in this recipe, it absolutely works – it’s not overpowering but ads a lot of umph to the dish and helps give it that signature Jamaican jerk flavor.
