Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe with Pineapple Rum Sauce

0 · Aug 11, 2014 · Leave a Comment

So I’ve been wanting to make Jerk Chicken at home since I graduated culinary school, which only took me 15 years to do…  I know, not much for timing.  I remember I had a killer recipe while in school and it’s obviously been lost through all the moves, marriage, kids, etc. so I did my best to recreate it.  I changed it up a little bit too since the Scotch Bonnet recipes can be a little spicy by adding the Pineapple Rum Sauce.  It kind of gives it that perfect balance of sweet and heat.  No I don’t know for sure if this is exactly how Jamaican street food is done, since I’ve never roamed the streets of Jamaica, however with all of Jamaican street food in the states, I’d say I’m pretty close.  If you’ve got a little time to spare since it takes a bit to marinate the chicken, then give this Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe with Pineapple Rum Sauce a whirl!

Be sure to move the chicken around in the bag every few hours to make sure all the chicken is being marinated.
