- In this episode of Street Food Icons, we head to Kingston, Jamaica, and get a taste of Hopeton and his son, Glenville's, pan chicken. The father-son duo and a handful of others serve up some of the tastiest and most popular pan chicken on the island. Sean Paul, Usain Bolt, weekend party-goers, and even politicians flock to Northside Chicken to eat this single-menu-item delicacy seasoned with thyme and scotch bonnets, then grilled on cleaned-out oil drums.

For a small island, Jamaica’s 🇯🇲 footprint in pop culture and contribution is immense! Love the people of Jamaica 🇯🇲
Jamaica & black America created their own culture & traditions. when comes to culture & music.They have create a culture from scratch & is followed all around the world ie Jerk chicken,soul food,hip hop, reggae music.Esp here in Africa,we grew up listening to reggae music,afro beats just took ever recently but people who 30s plus,we grew up listening to reggae & rap music.That jerk chicken is goood
@@zht1615uth This is such a goofy comment. "for a small island" Implying that jamaica is so small but have such a big culture impact. Jamacian food is popular in the US.
@@us7wqtrnek7uu Jamaican culture and black American culture are not synonymous, wtf are you talking about?
It is the nature of Black (African) people all over
When you learn where some things come from you would be surprised
All over the Caribbean influence culture all over, Brasil same way too
@@DarthVantos
Jamaica is small country & so rwanda,Burundi gambia,equatorial guinea,burundi issmall country,
I love how he called himself the CEO of Northside Chicken! Big boss energy 👏🏽
He is dripping with good vibes
You got too!! 😆 🤣
Chef Eating Offerings😂
He’s the ceo
Yup once I heard that and saw his shirt I knew he was him
He said "Who run dat."
Vice translated it as "who is the manager?" Lmfaooooo
What does a manager do? run things.
more international street food episodes Munchies! We love these
There's other channels for that...
@@SA2004YG can you plz name some?
@Hermione Lilly there's many food content creators who have episodes about street food but if you're only looking for street food specifically than I would recommend just using the search bar here on TH-cam
Great episode
This is it. You can't run a street food business without passion and dedication to the street, the real people.
@@hefner1322 she's smiling in her grave. Say hi for me
Or without raw unrefrigerated chicken in a bin in a hot country.
@@Robert-cu9bm its funny when someone feels the need to make a negative comment…..your life must suck
And vibes. I saw so many vibes.

One thing I love about having Jamaican friends is they can all cook and always be teaching me.
I had 2 Jamaican roommates for a yr where I live in Alberta and those guys know how to cook lol everytime they would cook in the house it would just flood the house with the best smelling food ever and they would always share no matter what
Jamaicans sound like the most confident people on earth. They talk with so much swag haha
Lol,thank you ,
We do! Almost too much sometimes 😂
Ah so we talk we are the baddest best ppl we run tings ❤
they has that swagger in them
We are confident because we love to lift and hype each other up. Gives confidence from an early age. 😊
I think so far only Anthony Bourdain and this journalist explained jerk chicken culture best. So thanks for this episode as a Caribbean person I needed to see this.
after 2-3 mins there was nothing to say, about the chicken!!
Best ever food review show documented jerk cuisine and rasta religion and foods
culture...an interesting word. Culture does not mean good just because it's applied to some seasonings and a third world country. If that were true, Somalia and Haiti have incredible culture...eating chicken out of a garbage can on the streets of Jamaica is certainly "culture"--but is is good food?
@@peteanddrake4242 hell yes it is don't knock it till u've tried it
@@peteanddrake4242 I would normally agree with you, however who gets to define which food culture is in good taste? to each his own!! It's like the culture of eating roadkill in Kentucky, gator jerky in Florida, cajun river rats in Louisiana, etc.
I’ve been to Jamaica 5 times and it’s the best place on earth. The people, the food, the atmosphere… no place like it. The people there have such an appreciation for life!
I’ve been once such a beautiful island Respect…
Where would you recommend going?
Ocho Rios I’ve been once it’s beautiful the birth place of Bob Marley.
That's all a lie. Jamaicans fight against each other and the crime and murder rate is higher than the ceiling and costumer service is horrible so what are you saying?
@@Ninja-gt3zi Anywhere but that abomination called Jamaica.
Aaaaaawwwww this is WHAT I respect. Honest living good hustling family hustle everybody come together as a family and hustle street side and the community still show them respect far and wide....may God continue to bless your family Hopeton Jamaica one love 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This tiny island has bought so much to us, Bob Marley, Usain Bolt, Beenie Man, amazing food and Indian Michael Jackson

When you marinade the chicken in a trash bag you know that's going to be Fire 🔥 🐔 🐥
I have seen it marinated in a trash bag then put in a freezer . Boiled with some of the spices untill it unthough then put on the grill at a Jamaican independence party in the states. Best chicken an pork I ever had.
@@TcVideoHosting Wow thanks for this tip, im gonna try boiling before grilling
@kevinasis They used red strip beer occasionally to mist the meat an keep the fire down. Depending on grill. They had a whole hog and bunch of chickens cut up it wouldn't fit in the fridge... They boiled it for like 15 or 20 min a batch to unthough then on the grill... Probably let it sit out for a hour or so before you boil so you can pull the pieces apart
The comment I went looking for 🤣
Suck yuh madda Batty boi
These guys have an energy that makes me want to pull up a plastic chair and chill with them late into the night
I promise you, it's always a vibe with this crew. They treat every day like a celebration!
You'd have the best night of your life!
You trying to get robbed?
Love how they are supportive and appreciating each other. 💪🏻💪🏻
The respect and love for Hopeton and his representation of the culture is real ✊🏾🇯🇲 and the Garvey shirts were 🔥❤️🖤💚
Yes man love d Garvey shirt
If you never had Jamaican Jerk chicken, you're missing a piece in your life, you owe it to yourself to try it, it's something else!
So lucky here in the UK, it’s everywhere in the big cities
@@tomh2121ye mon because Jamaica was a former British colony so England is gonna have our stuff
Shit is overpriced and fuck in nyc
@@jrgenius5098 we have around a million people with at least some Jamaican heritage here in the UK. Jamaicans are a massive ethnic minority here, because of post-colonial migration like you said.
@@tomh2121 Nothing compares to the real thing in Jamaican, trusttt.
Whenever I hear Jamaican people talk I feel like their singing or rapping to me. Beautiful accent.
Thanks for your love, blessings from Jamaica
Bumbo rumbo tumbo! BOP BOP BOP!!!
this is something i learned recently because it always sounded too complicated to be an accent
apparently its something called a patois
its a whole ass language
The accent comes from Irish slaves that taught it to the African slaves while they worked together
Smedley - Irish “slaves”???? “Working side by side together”????
There were no “Irish slaves” there. But there were Irish slave OWNERS.
I love the energy
He has such passion for his craft
I love my country and the people.. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 Big up everyone in the video and big up Vice for showcasing theses humble Street food vendors. Nuff love n respect 🇯🇲❤️
Do you love the native Tainos people too?
I used to live about two blocks from this location and let me tell y'all something: this chicken absolutely slaps after a night of partying. Legit looked forward to this every Sunday night (Wet Sundayz), every Monday night (Uptown Mondays) and every other time I can get. Seriously, this food cures hangovers without a doubt. Get the two piece, slice of bread and ketchup and you will recover nicely the next morning....PROMISE.
How much is the chicken? Must be costly coz of the popularity it possesses
@@aryanraina700probably around 2-3$ usd
@@aryanraina700 about 4 dollars usd for two piece and a slice or two of bread
what’s it called? the shop?
@@primordialbeing random pan chicken shop. No name. Just a grill, a man running it, and deliciousness.
Eating jerk chicken in the rain in Jamaica is one of my favorite memories of all time. I was getting soaked with the biggest smile on my face. So yummy! :)
Yes, but statistically Jamaica is the most dangerous country in the world. It's not advisable to travel there, ever.
@@user-wz4db1zn3r why you got to be so negative. Where did you get these statistics stop promoting fake negative propaganda. Not saying it is the safest place but if you take reasonable accountability them you are pretty much fine. Stay with your group and don't go traveling by yourself. But that's basically any country you go to outside first world countries.
@@user-wz4db1zn3r and how is that relevant?
@@user-wz4db1zn3ryeah especially you, close casket if you lucky
@@user-wz4db1zn3r LOL that is absolute BS. Go to Negril and tell me how dangerous it is hahaha. Maybe Kingston is not the safest but stay in resort areas and you will have no problems.
I can’t lie the “translation” of patois to English is sending me 💀
What's wrong with it
“Who a run dat?” “Who is the manager?” 😂
@@isvvx 😭😭😭💀💀💀
Tbf, those subtitles are needed for much of this video lol

I think Jamaicans are the happiest people in the world
They're vibe it's just amazing,they'll make you feel like everything it's alright in the world
If that was the case then why do they kill each other and why is the crime rate so high?
@@Onepieceistheworstfuckinganime have you looked at americans?
look at the average income of Americans and the average income of Jamaicans
even though they're much poorer,i don't see any happy american
@@pirleagavriil7144 I've seen many happy Americans and why wouldn't they be happy when they live in the wealthiest first world country? The average income for Americans is way higher than Jamaicans so what are you trying to say?
@@Onepieceistheworstfuckinganime they're happier than americans
and i'm no american or jamaican
as an outsider,jamaican people are more full of life than pretty much any other country
@@pirleagavriil7144def full of life/ vibes but beware it can get dangerous & dark
Jamaicans have a swagger unlike any other people in the world!
As a Jamaican, you are certainly right, our ways are different, thanks, much love
Wow! That story of the Taino people helping the escaped slaves is definitely one of those tidbits that I’m gonna remember for the rest of my life! True unsung heroes! I should’ve known something as wonderful as jerk chicken couldn’t have just fallen out of the sky
Nothing falls out of the sky, everything has influence from something else
5:50...onward, best part of the video
They invented it, Jerk chicken is actually from an extinct group of people, and there is evidence for Taino first cooking Jerk
I also like how he tied Jamaican Jerk to American Southern BBQ. Both grew out of the plantations from African slaves. ALL of our foods are different but also so similar. American Soul food, food from the West Indies, Food from the north east coast of South America. All decendant from West African cuisine. All full of soul and all delicious!!!😋😋😋❤❤❤❤
@@xlxl9440 It is incorrect... the native people, the Tainos, made jerk chicken and pork long before (thousands of years before) the Spanish brought African slaves to the Caribbean. Jerk has zero roots in "plantations" or with African blacks, slaves, or west African cuisine. Jerk itself uses all spice and scotch bonnet, both of which are native to those islands.
Blessed be the hands that feed many. god bless u kings May your baskets never go empty. One love 🇯🇲 🇯🇲🇯🇲
I love Glenville and his crews energy and passion you can tell they really put their heart and soul into every chicken they cook. Truly a one of a kind Jamaican.
We got a Jamaican at work and this dude keeps talking about jerk chicken and now i can see why, this is a whole good vibe and looks amazingly tasty
Jamaican food is one of the best foods ever cooked with love and care one love to them Jamaicans ❤️🖤💚
No it’s not hahahahha
@@calvinblack2167 ok?
Thanks for your love,blessings from Jamaica

I don't know bout that Jamaican food is rice and peas and jerk chicken nothing special.
The love shown for this jerk chicken is a beautiful thing it's not a recipe it's a way of life.. Simply amazing!!
Man, the world is such a colourful mixture of so much love and so many people to meet and places to be! Much love to Jamaica from Eastern Europe / Bulgaria
This has me so hungry for Jerk/Pan Chicken....Congrats to them for staying in business for so long. You can tell how proud of it they are.
Jamaican cuisine, imho, one of the best cuisines in the world.
Much respect for this generations of food workers that have these amazing skills
I’m from Trinidad and the best I’ve had was actually Jerk Chicken from a Jamaican place by the look out over the Lady Young road, and it’s also Jamaicans who cook it
Such a lovely man. Jamaica here I come.
Love Jamaica from 🇧🇷
I was so sad that I never got to try jerk chicken sooner. It's by far my favorite way to eat chicken now. As a Mexican it's popular to grill it and yeah it's fire too but jerking them suckers is something else and I can't help but love it. My mouth waters thinking about what this man is serving
God bless these amazing ,positive minded people, you’re what’s keeping this world together
Best chicken ive ever had is a jamaican jerk chicken! respect from the philippines.
I love Jamaican food!

Jamaican food doesn't just fill the stomach, it fills the soul.
** Callaloo and yes it does indeed 🇯🇲
@@berryarnelle Thank you for correcting her because I didn't know what that meant.
@@berryarnelle I wasn't sure of the spelling so I looked it up. Apparently, it's spelled 6 different ways. The way I wrote it is supposed to be the Jamaican Patois spelling. I thought it was spelled with a C also. Learn something new every day.

@Crack Shot As far as I know most Jamaicans spell it with a C but they indeed are two different dishes

Pure love.. pure good energy.. love my Jamaican brothers and sisters. Love to all

This is the classic Munchies/Vice content I like to see.
These r some of the great things that makes us so unique to the world..our vibes ,our cookings , and our culture..
This brought me so much joy! I cannot wait to go back to Jamaica and try Hopeton’s chicken!!!
I cannot wait to come home next year for some Northside Chicken. What I miss the most about JA is the food! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🤤🤤🤤🤤
Im filipino and love Jamaican food its one of my favourite cuisine.
I remember being on vacation with my family in Montego Bay, Jamaica & my Dad and I happened to slip away to a bar (away from my Mom & brother) for just a bit. Outside the bar, there were two Jamaican guys and they asked us, "What do you need? I am the "pharmacist" and my friend here is the "doctor"." *great times, LOVE Jamaica and the wonderful people/culture there*
🤣
Did you buy anything
@@MrZak-rc4jf I plead the fifth
right answer still "I need to back home alive please sir")

Been going here since I was a kid, definitely a spot everyone should hit up if they get the chance. Love it
Is it only food that you get as a takeout or do you traditionally cook it at home? Thank you
@@misiageb at least in my family we usually get it as takeout, but they do sell like a jerk seasoning mix in the store that you can use if you wanted to make your own at home. It's still good but not as good as the drum pan chicken.
@@misiageb Traditionally bought I believe
May God continue to bless their families, business, and hard work. Looks delicious.
Love the energy of these people in video
As a yaadman me love this fi Jamaica hope some people can see seh even weh wi tired a can bring u thru life
Thank you for showcasing this, Jerk is both a method of cooking and also a seasoning and finally it is being showcased!
Right! I always hated when foreigners would get a jar of jerk seasoning, fry up some chicken with it, then call it "jerk".
@@spiritualcleanse7115 exactly it's so annoying
Love seeing this! These guys have been there since I was in School, over 30 years and still in the same spot! Every week I go to my Barber theyre right outside happily serving the masses! Funny enough, its located right outside a Pizza Hut who can only wish they had that loyalty and traffic!😄
Man, everyone seems so chill and friendly
I need some ASAP
It looks so simple, But make no mistake this is a craft.
No, it's really simple.
The part about buying chicken after a party is something every Jamaican can relate to. By then all restaurants are closed and the only source of food after that liquor kicks is the jerk pan on the road side 😂
No place like home! I miss you, Jamaica. Will definitely stop at Northside next time! Had me smiling from ear to ear watching this feature.
Soo proud of Jamaica!! 🇯🇲
The Translated captions are killing me, like it needs translating 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dem man there are de generals > He's the best 😂😅😂🤣

When you make something with love. You get the bonus of it being good. That's a winning combination. I Love Jerk Chicken !!!!
There was a place in south Florida called Lucille’s ‘bad to the bone barbeque’ that would have all you could eat Jerk chicken and Ribs for like $35 a person, it was incredible.
Lol that’s not authentic
I had the worse "jerk" chicken in Florida. Unseasoned.

I sometimes ate spicy/ hot Mexican food. I ate jerked chicken and it was the hottest tasting food, I tasted and my tounge was on fire.
I loved it. Much love to Jamaica and for the great people and food.
Hands down the best accents anywhere in the world
It takes good man to learn who to cook jerk chicken,the ingredients and the cooking time makes for a great and delicious meal.
This is a great recipe! I love jerk chicken, and this is a great way to make it.
When i was living in london, when u smell the jerk chicken smoke wether from a store or on the street bbq, its the smell of patience, efforts and gathering.
Chicken are Kings and Queens. Each country's chicken dish is their blessed royal garments.
