This grilled Jamaican jerk chicken recipe offers a fiery, smoky, and intensely fragrant twist on a classic Jamaican dish. While it may not claim to be Grandma’s authentic jerk chicken, it’s undeniably delicious. My culinary journey began when I left my small hometown of 5,000 people in eastern Quebec for university. There, I explored a wide range of cuisines, including Greek, Thai, Indian, and Caribbean. To this day, my first experience at a Caribbean restaurant, savoring jerk chicken, remains vivid in my memory. It was love at first bite—the harmonious blend of fragrant, fiery, and smoky flavors instantly made me a jerk chicken enthusiast.
