Chef Kwame Onwuachi of Kith/Kin in Washington DC is in the Munchies Test Kitchen to share everything there is to know about making Jamaican jerk chicken. Kwame celebrates this iconic Caribbean dish by honoring its history and its cooking method, which requires brining and smoking the chicken. He creates a jerk paste from scratch with ingredients like soy sauce, thyme, Scotch bonnet peppers, tamarind paste, cinnamon, and more. Finally, he serves the jerk chicken with a simple jerk barbecue sauce.

Served with coleslaw and burnt fries. I respect the hustle but I was heated like a mutherf***** lol.

So I’ve made this from the recipe on the site about five times now because it’s so good, but I thought I’d share a few things I’ve opted to change along the way: if you use the volumes listed on the website the jerk “paste” will be pretty dilute. Try adding about half of the soy sauce, purée, then thin to your liking from there. I’ve found that the extra night of marination isn’t really necessary, I’ll go straight from the brine after the first day onto the grill. I also don’t make the BBQ sauce anymore because it doesn’t have as much jerk character as I want. Instead I liberally coat all the chicken in jerk paste then thin the rest of the paste (roughly half of the batch will be left) with a little bit of vinegar and just baste with that. Takes about 45 mins to cook fully on my smoker and is by far the best grilled chicken I’ve ever made at home. Again, just what I’ve done to modify the recipe to my taste but definitely worth trying it as written first too.

@Born In Shithole Country i've asked and made it plenty of times. walkerswoods is plenty good and potent on it's own, but adding your own fresh produce,like ceeloc said really makes it taste homemade; specifically the green onions, lime juice, scotch bonnets. I believe some of them add a little soy sauce to thin it out. also, the dudes at seriouseats found throwing soaked, dried bayleaves on the grill gives off a smoke flavor profile very similar to pimento wood.
