Jerk Chicken

[acd4476]

Got my jerk chicken ready to go on tomorrow around 10am. Marinating now in a homemade sauce. I have a pellet grill that I'll use some special pellets I bought made from real pimento wood. In the past I've used chips with my MES so hopefully these pellets works as well.

Mmmm love jerk chicken. Never made a jerk marinade before, only used Graces hot jerk

Huge jerk fan here. I usually use Walkers Woods or Grace , I’m going to try to make my own wet rub this summer. Love it on pork and chicken. Hard to get it quite as good as Scotchies in Montego Bay.

Jcam, try it on shrimp

Yumm and good luck!

I've made a couple batches of jerk chicken thighs using Walkerswood seasoning and pimento wood pellets in a tube on the kettle. Good, but not up to quality to be posting here.
Once summer arrives, I'm going to try it with hard wood instead of charcoal. I feel charcoal masked the flavor of the pimento wood.

Great result, the skin looks perfect, superb colour too. I had never heard of Jerk Chicken before, will have to add it to my list.

Thanks for sharing.

How many pellets did you consume in a 3 hour cook?
Broke down and ordered a pellet pooper yesterday so I'll be on a new learning curve.

There’s a good recipe at pimentowood.com - wet and dry recipes.

Look at recipe at pimentowood.com it’s based off Scotchies. If you can’t find fresh scotch bonnet peppers Amazon has powdered - but scotch bonnet peppers are critical to the recipe.

I'd say 5 lbs.

Turned out great. I'd even use the marinade on just the white meat and grill it traditionally on my weber gas with a packet of pimento smoking.
