Jerk Chicken #AtoZChallenge

Jerk Chicken is a dish from Jamaica, incorporating the Caribbean flavours which is neither too spicy nor exotic. The taste comes from the blend of garlic, onion, thyme, all spice and nutmeg. The marinade can burn easily and hence the chicken should be slow cooked on the grill.

The spice blend can also be used on pork, seafood or aubergine to get the smoky Caribbean flavor. This can be served with rice or even used for making a sandwich. You can also, saute some juvenile carrots, onion and beans.
