trust me I know it’s a reason my lil experiment ain’t taste or smell nothing like his
This guy knows what he's taking about
I know that super spicy food ain't for everyone, but there is nothing like some extra hot jerk chicken to sweat out a fever or cold.
Whenever I start feeling sick, I ask my mom to make me some her super spicy jerk sauce.
One meal and a hundred tears later, I'm back to feeling like a million bucks.
Also....
Jerk should always be grilled.
Jerk over the oven never hits right and soaking in a pot on the oven retains heat. The grill burns a lot of the excess heat off and adds a crunch to the skin.

Best Jerk in Toronto for me has been Kitchen King on Progress out east.
Been going there since they were on Nugget.
Went there by happenstance while waiting on some repairs for my wife's car at Canadian Tire.
We stopped to get some Subway that was at the plaza across the street and noticed some good ass smelling food.
....and that's all she wrote
Been going there for about a decade.

Kitchen King offers ‘authentic Jamaican dishes’ in Scarborough

Hockey and homemade Jamaican food.
Those are the passions of Scarborough resident Michael Francis, who manages Kitchen King, a Jamaican restaurant on Progress Avenue.
Francis was born and raised in Jamaica, and after coming to Canada in 1993, he got a job making hockey equipment. “I surprise a lot of people because they’re like, ‘A Jamaican making hockey equipment?’” he said. “It became a passion for me.”

In February 2012, when Francis’ father opened Kitchen King, Francis transitioned to his other passion: Jamaican food. Francis and his wife Lotoya operate the eatery, which was originally located on Nugget Avenue but moved to its current location at 885 Progress last May.
“Our meal (has a) more authentic, home-cooking kind of feel to it,” Francis said. “We smoke our jerk chicken, our jerk pork; the way we cook our oxtail or goat, it’s more home cooked … When you have one of our dishes, it’s well prepared. We take our time; we put our soul in it.”
The restaurant is not only known for its jerk chicken but also for its fish, shrimp and lobster. The restaurant also offers goat head soup, chicken foot soup and cow foot soup.
“We actually cook fresh every day, so we have a particular soup every day, Monday to Saturday,” Francis said. “So cow foot soup would fall in on a Wednesday. … We put beans and all kinds of vegetables in it.”
Francis described the authentic way the restaurant prepares its jerk chicken.

“We have a drum, like you’d call it a barbecue pan here,” he said. “We cut it in half and then we turn it into a grill. We put charcoal in it. We have a section where the charcoal goes and then you have another section that the chicken stays on, so once you close the lid, it becomes like a smoker. It’s got about 40 per cent fire and 60 per cent smoke.”
The chicken is smoked for 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on its thickness and texture. “The cooking is done outside (at the rear of the restaurant). The seasoning and the cleaning is done inside,” Francis said.
Though the restaurant includes a bar, Francis stressed the eatery is “focused on making authentic Jamaican dishes (that) you can’t find anywhere else.” But the clientele is not confined to one ethnic group. There are people from “a lot of different” nationalities that come to the restaurant (in part) because of its proximity to Centennial College’s Progress Campus, Francis said.
On weekdays, the restaurant offers a lunch special: fried, jerk, or barbecued chicken with water for $5.99.
The restaurant also offers breakfast, but only on Saturday mornings. “We have ackee and salt fish,” Francis said.
Francis credits the success of the restaurant to his wife, who he describes as “the best chef you can ever think of.”
Lotoya said her dad had a restaurant in Jamaica for years. “I actually grew up in the restaurant,” she said, adding, “I always had a passion for cooking.”

I read this in a west indian accentYeah 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.
Dem gentrify wi good good jerk, tu blouse and skirt. Di mongrel already fuck up di chicken thigh and oxtail market, now dis.
