What does Jerk Chicken supposed to taste like?

[YoungSinister]

I’m from the south, so I didn’t get hip to Caribbean food until about 10 or so years ago.
I tried jerk chicken again after a terrible first experience from years earlier.

That shit tasted like the inside of a cauldron. It was straight heat. It destroyed my tastebuds and I couldn’t finish it.

Is that how it’s supposed to be?

P.S. Niggas that take pride in eating super hot food are weirdos, so miss me with the comments. That’s cracka behavior.

It can be either mild or hot. Mild is real flavorful. I made a me jerk chicken wings 2 years ago. My first time at ng it was in high school when we had a pot luck. Jerk chicken and rice.

It's supposed to taste like heaven dipped in gold, it sounds like you had hell dipped in shit.

 

[woodchuck]

Even when hot, it should have more flavor than heat. A lot of people make it too hot, because it feeds their ego, but not their guests.

OP got that extreme treatment .... he licked the inside of Satan's boot or Trump's asshole....

Jerk Chicken is not necessarily hot with pepper. It depends on who is cooking and their love for pepper. You are supposed to be able to taste the seasoning throughout the chicken. Not just on the skin.

I think he got that IKEA Jerk Chicken and Rice & Peas.....

(IKEA put the wrong kind of peas in the rice... )

I had the stupid idea of making jerk chicken strips one time. I bought some tyson chicken strips and marinated them in jerk seasoning thinking it was going through be a tasty new sensation. The breading soaked up all the seasoning and the spices got concentrated instead of of evening out. Man that shit was an inferno.

Yea I hate super or even spicy food that burns my mouth after I'm done eating. Where did you get the food? It's best to get Caribbean food from someone you know who's from the Caribbean.

real jerk uses scotch bonnet peppers.. how much i guess depends on who is cooking it..

 

[HellBoy]

If the cook is making it for others, it shouldn't be fire hot. That's just inconsiderate. Jerk chicken is ok, but I usually stick to brown stew chicken.

 

[mcguyver]

Ain't no way it was worst than chitterlings.

Ikea’s jerk chicken with rice and peas is your cultural appropriation nightmare come to life | Phresh

Ikea recently introduced the sorriest Jerk chicken platter to the menu in it's cafeteria. The Swedish furniture company took what is probably the most popular Jamaican dish an, well... white washed it. The uninspired version featured white rice and green peas (WHITE RICE & GREEN PEAS!!)...

I marinate mine overnight. My wife marinates hers the morning of.

Their brown stew chicken ain’t shit either, if we’re gonna keep it real

That is the key. If the chicken is not allowed to soak up the gravy overnight. The flavor will only be on the skin.

I think the thing that makes her jerk chicken good, is that she marinates it at room temperature.

 

[Lexx Diamond]

Yeah man. I start the process by letting the chicken soak in water and vinegar for about two hours. Then the cleaning of the chicken takes place. After that the seasoning of the chicken. Then I put the chicken in a sealed container and let it sit on the counter for at least three hours before putting it all in the refrigerator for the next day of cooking. I use a beer can stand when cooking on the grill.

Wow that chicken’s sitting comfortably and looks relaxed, it’ll probably be real tender.

All’s it needs is a tv remote in its wing to set dinner off perfectly

Yeah you might have to take a trip to NY on labor day and hit the west Indian parade.. It will be hundreds of nigs on the grill making jerk chicken... Take your pick out the litter and enjoy

You mustve been on the toilet afterwards like

 

[dugington]

You definitely should taste some smoke with the flavor. That's why oven jerk chicken don't hit the same as from the grill IMO.
Some people get pimento wood flown in from wherever.
Also, the grill burns off some of the heat from scotch bonnet pepper on the skin.

You should taste flavor, not just heat.

"Breading"? Fuk was you thinking?

 

[Stix-N-Stonz]

I don't mess with super hot spicy food either, but some good jerk chicken done right is hitting. Flavorful with a little bit of kick is how you want it, Im not trying to break a sweat or need some milk. I've never bothered to make it myself but I've been to a few spots that can do it right.

Where in NC are you get it from? If you're in Raleigh & got it from Lee's Kitchen then yeah it's trash & hot for no reason. Gotta get it from Mum's Kitchen, Jamaican Grille or Jerk Masters

proper jerk seasoning - those combination of spices tenderize and start cooking the meat especially at room temperature

it does magical things to pork and decent cuts of beef and goat

 

[cli-terminator]

I let mine marinate for a minimum of 48hrs. I want the seasoning to soak in to where you can burp 4hrs later & still feel like you just took a bite seconds ago

Whoever made it didn't like yo azz and rubbed the raw pepper pith on your shit.

Must've caught them on a off day. That's my primary goto spot whenever I don't feel like making my own. I have caught a batch that were hotter than usual before but it's normally mild to me. Their rice & peas is very flavorful especially with oxtail gravy added

liquid smoke is decent but this really works
