Reddit reviews Grace Jamaican Jerk Seasoning Hot 284g ,10oz

Yup for the Jerk Chicken, I use one of two marinades; Walkerswood or Grace. You can also make it yourself but I've never made it myself since it's really hard to get authentic Jamaican ingredients where I live, like scotch bonnet peppers. Whatever you do avoid the dry "jerk seasoning" or anything that says jamaican styled, those are not even close to what jerk should taste like and the jamaican styled ones are mostly just sugar.

Anywho, I usually just take one jar of the premade seasoning from Walkerswood or Grace and about 2.5lbs of boneless skinless chicken thighs. I apply it liberally to the chicken and let marinate for 24hours in the fridge. If you like chicken with the bone or skin you can use that as well, I just like avoiding those extra calories. You can also use or chicken parts, but I'd recommend against chicken breast since the roasting/bbq process ends up drying it out.

After the chicken has marinated for 24hrs I prepare a roasting pan with aluminum foil and preheat my oven to 400 degrees. Now you want to make sure each chicken has a nice coating of the seasoning otherwise the flesh will burn instead of getting a nice roasted crust.

At this point you place them in the oven and check to see when they've started brown. When one side is browned, flip them over and roast the other side. This usually take 1.5hr to complete with my oven but I'd definitely watch your chicken closely to avoid burning.

Additionally you can barbecue the chicken on the grill, although I've never done it.

For Jamaican Steamed Cabbage I use this recipe since I can't find the scotch bonnet pepper I've never added it. And for some additional ease in making I use 2 bags of H-E-B shredded cabbage and 1 bag of matchstix carrots. I also like to add a lot of black pepper to my cabbage and go a little easy on the water. Otherwise this is a solid recipe and I use it weekly.

You want jerk paste, not marinade.

Jamaican Jerk chicken and pork. Marinated in wet jerk seasoning for at least 3 hours to overnight and then oven roasted at low temp, 200°F for 3-4 hours. Make sure you use foil to line your dishes first or it will be a bit hard to clean up.

> Walkerswood jerk paste is pretty legit for doing it at home.

There are two brands sold locally, and we like the Grace brand better. Walkerswood has a better label though.

Link is for picture only. It's a couple of bucks a jar locally.
