Preparing Jamaican-Style Jerk Chicken Barbecue


Based in Atlanta, Dale Jones serves as owner of the Paul Mitchell School and emphasizes the importance of proper team building and execution in fostering company success. His leadership responsibilities extend beyond the Paul Mitchell School and include guiding The Kings Group, LLC, which helps ensure that startup companies are poised for sustained growth. 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.
