Jerk Chicken

Last night, I made Jerk chicken from scratch. To Jerk is to roughly tear and stab raw meat in preparation for the addition of spices and the like. It's Jamaican in origin and has ties back to Native Americans and their dried meat preparation. jerk is essentially a predecessor of Jerky and is also usually created with a dry rub of spices and chilli's.

I had to make do with a wet jerk and I basted and BBQ'd chicken breasts with an aromatic blend of spices and acid. I made a 4 bean salad as an accompaniment and fragrant coconut rice as a side.

It tasted pretty good and had a suitable kick. I'd be prepared to try the jerk rub again with a dry spice mix. I should've really taken some photo's of it as well. Ah well, dem's da breaks.
