Jerk Thighs

Man I use Pops Fireman's chicken version of Cornell and the smell is intoxicating when on the grill!
We all have our own tweaks. I run mine like Roundhouse Patio Chicken on PIB using white wine instead of ACV (also some chicken bouillon in place of some the salt.)

We absolutely love Jerk pork and chicken here. So much so that I went out of my way to get some Jamaican Ministry of Agriculture Scotch Bonnet seeds and grow them myself.

I got lucky a few years ago and got some real Scotch Bonnet plants from a University Horticulture Club sale.
Trust you guys on the peppers but for me the essence of jerk is allspice+BP. Heads up, bonnets (peppers/plants/powder) are now readily available on Etsy. Boy that MOA thing is a rabbit hole! Got me looking at "P Dreadie" seeds but there's a guy selling plants 30m from me. Hmmm.
 
I haven't had jerk chicken in a couple years. Might be time, and the way that looks, I think I NEED to do it now. Excellent work!

BP?
 
Great color! Jerk thighs rock.
Just did some walkers wood thighs over the weekend camping. Tamari, lime, ginger, garlic added to marinade. Boss lady took of skin to put in crock pot, I said nooooo.

P Dreadie is the one that I have. I used to post a lot on thehotpepper forums and many of the folks there were kind enough to share seeds as long as you send a SASBE.

I'd suggest giving some bonnets a try and seeing what you think.
 
Was my turn to give it a whirl on the jerk thighs. IMG_1864.jpeg
I remembered now, the hot &spicy was just about too much.

Marinated overnight and racked. Paste remained a little thick but rolled with it.
310* and then on scorching hot grill.

Plated with potato wedges and a spinach salad.

Will go with the milder version next time.
