Born in Jamaica, Dale Jones has a passion for Caribbean culture and food, including jerk chicken.
With a unique flavor profile that is smoky, sweet, and spicy, jerk chicken requires careful preparation that begins with patting a whole chicken dry the day before it is served. The chicken is then covered with a blended marinade of Scotch bonnet (habanero) peppers, fresh ginger, scallions, and thyme. Cooking the marinated chicken requires building up a chimney of charcoal, as well as wood chips soaked with pimento (allspice), which adds an aromatic element. The grill should be covered and the chicken left to cook with the coals for approximately half an hour before serving up hot.
