Authentic Jamaican JERK CHICKEN Recipe | Smoky & Flavorful Chicken Dinner Made Easy
Master the art of making authentic Jamaican Jerk Chicken with this mouthwatering recipe! Jerk Chicken is one of the most famous and flavorful dishes from Jamaica, known for its unique blend of spices and slow-cooked perfection. Traditionally, Jerk Chicken is marinated overnight and smoked over Pimento wood to achieve its signature taste.
While Pimento wood can be hard to find in the USA, I've found the perfect substitute using maple wood chips to capture that smoky flavor. Follow this step-by-step guide to create the ultimate Jamaican Jerk Chicken dinner right in your own kitchen!

Pour over the paste into 4 Chicken thigh and massage them thoroughly on both sides. Cover the chicken and place it in the Refrigerator overnight or 24 hours is better.
Before Grilling, Soak Pimento wood chips for 15 minutes or you can substitute with maple wood chips or Apple wood chips. The soaked wood will create a smokiness to the meat and the flavor. Once the charcoal is hot and ready add in soaked wood chips and add in the marinated chicken on the grill facing skin side down then cover them with lid. We will be mostly cooking the chicken in slow charcoal flame and a lot of smoke from maple wood chips. Turn it occasionally and when the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 170ºF, the chicken will be ready to eat. Serve it Hot with Jerk Dipping Sauce.
For Jerk Dipping Sauce, Add in the remaining paste into a pan and add water and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally. Once the sauce is cooked, add in Ketchup and stir. Let it simmer for another 1-2 minutes and pour the sauce into bowl. You jerk Dipping sauce is ready to be dipped with.
