The Real Jerk Chicken

Since a trip in 2012 to Jamaica where I had the pleasure of trying on the beach jerk chicken, I would be forever changed. I had tried Jerk Chicken in the US but was never that impressed. It was ok, kind of spicy but too complex in flavor and always over cooked. If you have ever wanted the real thing a friend that grew up in Jamacia has cracked the code. This recipe will make proper Jerk Chicken just like on the big island.
