I made the sauce yesterday and marinated chicken for 24 hours. The sauce is thick and clings to the chicken. I baked it in the oven and it was absolutely wonderful. I have a great jerk recipe now.
So happy to hear Pamela!!!!!
What's so every people say, Let me vouch to you this is the most elaborate and flavourful jerk marinade I have ever made
I have made it like more than 15 times, I am an Indian so these flavours really stand out
I made this today!!! Sooo freaking good!!!! Reminded me of our trip to Jamaica. I used 3 habaneros and it was plenty hot for my husband. Loved it and will make again and again!!!! Thx
I'm so happy to hear! My friend Mary shared this with me and it's a huge hit in my house too!
Awesome
Love this recipe
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this recipe. I made this today and used it on chicken and we loved it.
So glad to hear that!!!! Keep watching!!!!
I have made this several times now way better than the stuff you buy at the store. Thanks for the great recipe.
So very welcome!!!!
Just finished making your sauce, it's perfect, grilling up some chicken 🐔 wings. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
So welcome!!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe 😊😋
My pleasure 😊
This recipe was soooooo bomb me and my family are trying it again for the second time in 2 months and I've been on vacation for 3 weeks soooooo ummmmm yeah its really good. Also I come from Chicago and Los Angeles so our standard for Authentic Caribbean flavor is off the rack being that we have a large island influence in Chicago as well. Thank You Beautiful for this recipe 😤🗣💨🏹🎯💯🔥
Thank you so much for your kind words!!!!!!
looks like a really fine sauce
Thanks!
So excited to try this
Hope you like it!
I didn’t even have all the ingredients and it still came out bomb! ♥️♥️♥️
Awesome!!!
The Pimento Berries are very hard ,so it is best to grind it in a Hamilton Beach coffee grinder.Also grind a little bit of Nutmeg.
+garfield lawrence thanks so much for the tip!
Yes 👍🏿🇦🇬
I will give this one a try.... can’t wait!
Great! Would love to hear how it turns out!
I am definitely trying this sauce because I get to adjust the peppers n make it less hot. ...as soon as my store bought one is finished. Love from Trinidad.
Thank you!!!! Let me know how it turns out!
don't listen to the haters you did a good job definitely will try this one
awww thank you!
Kravings aw no problem your welcome
Going to try it, I just know it will be awesome
AWWWW thank you for the vote of confidence!!!!!
Nice job!! Really enjoyed your video and loved your recipe. Like all things "In the kitchen", you can adjust to your specific taste. I added more scallions and peppers, simply because I personally like my spicy on "10". However this is a First Rate Recipe!...Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
+njbelvedere thank you!! And you're totally right!!!
Looks delicious can't wait till I try definitely going to add more peppers and keep the seeds in
Thank you :)

Almost same recipe wat we used to prepare on Cruiseline..great
+Dilip Goa great 👍
Nice blend. Bit more complex ingredients than store bought. 😍😍
Totally and worth it!
Looks great
Thanks so much!
Great recipe, used it 2 times already and my children love it. What kind of vinegar did u use?
Hi there! I've used both Apple Cider and Red Wine Vinegar over the years - both work well.
Kravings thank you for responding. I thought that's what you were using , I've been using the Apple Cider. I will try the red wine this week.
Have a blessed day and One Love...
Same to you!
Yum doing this tonight. Thanks..👍👍
Let me know how it turns out!
Kravings
It was AMAZING thanks..👍👍
I am going to make this sauce and can it. I figure that the stuff I buy in the store is canned in a bottle, so I plan to do the same. If they can can, so can I. Thanks for the recipe. Just the stuff you put in it let's me know that I will love it.
Hi Ruth! Great idea but you may want to freeze it!
Very nice 😊 tk
Thank you too
Thanks for sharing this...
so welcome!
Do you coat chicken and grill it or use it after as a sauce?
I use it more as a marinade!
Marinate your chicken overnight for max flavor.
Hallo. What's the durability of this sauce? Just curious.
Hey there - I've kept it upto a week in the fridge with no issues. You can also freeze it for a longer life.
Great video thank you!!!
Thanks so much!
I use your jerk sauce , it wasn't hot at all but I just the heat a little by adding 5 more peppers to make it hotter. when you take out the seeds from the pepper , it's not hot .
+shawn williams sr Yes true, I'm glad you can stomach it!!! I try to go not to crazy hot for my channel.
+shawn williams sr Remember it's your jerk sauce, and 'you da boss'
I made this jerk marinade exactly how you did. It was amazing
so glad
Big fan of Jerk...sauce that is! Will have to try this sometime - Thanks!
Awesome! Lemme know how it turns out!
excellent
Thank you!!!
Excellent recipe!! Had all ingredients and I made a batch that I used on a hind leg of baby goat. Cooked it looooow and slow. Was soooo good!!
ooo that sounds amazing!
Was the goat still alive?
Hi Madan how long the marinade chicken we can keep before cook thanks
Overnight is best!
Hi Karen ... some of these Ingredients we do not get in India what can I substitute it with for eg : pimentos
Add a little extra cinnamon, clove and pepper instead.
Kravings thanks a lot Karen , luv the way u start some episodes with local pics/ video of local culture
Ty!
Hi Karen please let me know if there are any new videos
@@victorfernandes3227 I upload 3 videos a week - hit the notification bell and you will get alerted.
Hi Karen.. just wanted to know.. what can we substitute the scotch bonnet peppers with? We don't get them or the other chillies in india
It's not the same but just use 2 - 3 regular chillies.
Nice recipes I had a similar video on my channel how to cook pot roast beef.. but I didn't add some of those ingredients..
Thanks
There’s more flavor in the stems of the thyme and since it’s green, you could just throw it all in the blender.
It's so hard though?
Your own twist on it or your friends twist - but I don’t think this is truly authentic. I am Indian, and a chef actually I work for a very well known Michelin starred Indian restaurant here in London.
Anyway, just wanted to see how you make it as I do enjoy jerk chicken and go to some very good places here to eat jerk chicken... I wouldn’t say they use things like coriander powder in their marinade that’s actually more of an Indian thing to use. I’m pretty sure they don’t use cinnamon in the marinade and actually nor orange juice and probably not even ginger. Still, you got the recipe from someone else that’s clearly added their own twist and take on it- nothing wrong with that.
Also remember the key element is the smokiness that comes from jerk chicken, make sure to get it really charred and smoky... cheers.
Thank you!!!! I'm honored esp since you work in a Michelin star resto wow! Yes there is a LOT of debate about the use of Coriander and Cinnamon - some swear by it and it's a no no for some. There's also a lot of debate about the scotch bonnets. Ultimately, this recipe is incredible and yes I love to stick this on my grill to get that smokiness. In the summer, I smoke the scotch bonnets before use. Cheers!
Kravings You’re welcome. Also smoke amongst wood chips, even cook it in the oven to the point it’s nearly cooked and finish it off on a bbq... just a tip as sometimes people find it hard to cook chicken straight on a bbq
It’s all about cooking on direct and indirect heat but that’s another issue, thought I’d give you the tip.
Your hubby is a lucky dude you cooking him that ;-)
Thank you for the tips!!!! I appreciate it!!!!!!
I have been searching for a good jerk recipe and I think I just hit the jackpot. I can't wait to try it :)
aww thank you!
Jayterra did u try it?
You are a brave lady to cut them peppers without gloves and the seeds too you brave I'm going to try this I love mine with lost of vinegar
Ha ha yeah! And I've been burned before!
@@KravingsFoodAdventures ha ha can bet

There was no mention for the marinade time for the chicken with the jerk sauce. How long do you think chicken parts should marinate in this sauce?
Hey there - this video is just for the marinade - I have other videos for the Jerk Chicken and Jerk Shrimp. In these, times are mentioned! Thanks!
moofushu
Typically 24 hours....
I admire your balls for cutting scotch bonnets with no gloves
I’m ballsy :)
Is this a dipping sauce or just marinade
Marinade. You could use it as a dipping sauce as well!
Seeds do not contain the heat (capsaicin) it is the vein! The whit part that is hot
Really???? Good to know! Thanks!
Use avocado oil. Canola oil is processed GMO seeds. All spayed with rounup.😝
Thanks Robert!
Welll, luckily Jamaican pimento as you call iit, is not only avsilable in Jamaica but in the Carbbean, Central and South América as well. Sure, it has other mames such as sweet pepper, fat pepper, bay rhum pepper, etc.
We’re lucky to have it abundantly available!!!
Kravings Yes, we are! Besides, here in Panama we have shado beni, which is like our national flavor. Thanks for the jerk sauce recipe, it looks so yummy! :)
Thank you so much. I would love to try that, but I haven't seen it in our markets here in Toronto.
Recipe: What is the recipe to jerk sauce that you put on the chicken after it has been cooked?
This is a marinade. You can actually cook the marinade down, it will thicken and turn darker and you can then use it as a sauce.
My secret...spoon full of instant coffee
Seriously??????????
Simply delicious. Best Jerk recipe on TH-cam PERIOD......
+Vincent2wice awww thank you!!!
Excellent video. Would definitely marry you tomorrow 🙏🏾
lol
...er, I'm not a cook, how do I cook the chicken with the jerk sauce?
+Bryan Wilson its super easy, just marinate and grill!
Bryan Wilson you grill it
I would like to comment that the best marinade sauce is different than the best dipping or finishing sauce. In my experience you want to add salt and vinegar to the marinade (as well as the Caribbean sunshine), but with the finishing sauce you want to avoid vinegar and excess sauce while enhancing the citrus. I would avoid the salt and swap the vinegar with fresh squeezed orange juice or a mixture or orange and lime juice. I would also avoid any scotch bonnet pepper seeds or the internal white membrane and perhaps add an extra teaspoon to tablespoon of fresh ginger. I would also go heavier on the fresh Thyme, but I simply like fresh thyme (like I always double the fresh basil on a Thai or Panang curry).
Of course this is the opinion of a fat white man, but a fat white man grown fat on good food.
+Garry Perkins Thanks Gary! It's my bad! I shouldn't have called it a sauce, it's actually a marinade!
whats the recipe for the dipping sauce
Leave the scotch bonnet seeds in.. then two will be enough
You need the skin and flesh actually. It's what gives the sauce body. The seeds just give heat.
An Arab making a jerk chicken video is about as authentic as a Chinese person making a taco video.
You're so ignorant - I'm not Arab and even if I was, it's not relevant.
Next time blend the pepper with the seed that where the spice is
+STAR BWOY yeah next time will try that.
Not everyone likes pepper though.. add pepper to your own
Your beautiful,so is your dish
Thank you so much
This the best jerk sauce ever.
Thank you Jerry!
does anyone else slightly simmer the mixture before bottling?
I would love to know too!!!!
Don't do that. Marinate your meats overnight.
Churtez
The only time I see that, is when they put some to the side (prior to marinating it in the meat) and make a jerk sauce with it, to go with the meat after it is grilled.
not sure about adding cinnamon. we don't really use that on our meats. but all in all I liked it. try adding way more thyme and some escallion (Green onions)
+Carrialeisa Henry will try that thanks!!!!!
Carrialeisa Henry some people add allspice, not sure if thats authentic, but allspice has some cinnamon in it. its a nice twist
Sorry, but most of you guys are commenting about not using cinnamon. Please read your Caribbean label ingredients when you are cooking. Cinnamon is one of the foundations for great Caribbean flavours and scent. There is a reason our home and foods smell different to African, Indian and Chinese as to the herbs and spices we use. Get educated........
upp
Looks like a great authentic jerk sauce.
Thank you!
Is this recipe the real deal??? Or an American spin??
I think it's the real deal. It was passed to me by a dear friend who is married into a Jamaican family and they know their jerk. The results are amazing!
Thank you
Dear those are not scotch bonnet peppers. Pimentos is no substitute for scotchie!! Coriander?? Fi who? Jamaican? De ginger enuff!!
I loved reading your comment, I could sense your dismay - ha ha - this recipe was given to me by someone who is married into a Jamaican family. As par as Scotch Bonnets are concerned, we get these in Canada labelled Scotch Bonnets. Thank you!
@@KravingsFoodAdventures I understand that very clearly, but as a Jamaican I can tell you it does make a difference. Some peppers can kill the taste of the food, scotchie as the unique property of both heat and sweetness. Preparation is key in doing jerk, but it also comes down to your method. Cinnamon is optional. And its not used in everything here. Nothing is wrong with your variation, the main ingredients is what makes jerk jerk!! Happy cooking!
@@georgiarichards5628 I hope I can find them then! If not I have to make a trip to Jamaica!
@@KravingsFoodAdventures you are always welcome to our beautiful country. Another thing you can use rosemary instead of lime zest. Use ALL OF THE GREEN ONION!! ESCALLION!! STEM AND ALL!!
HAD JERK CHICKEN IN OHCIO RIOS JAMICIA DAM HOT BUT GREAT
Great!
I'm not taking advice from white folks making jerk chicken I have to go to an authentic Jamaican for that no disrespect lol
Let me tell you, this white girl is more Jamaican than most I know!
.......
?
I thought it was made a little different... I must
Be mistaken
@@chefblaze7381 I'm sure it's made in many different ways just like other recipes
lo. got to be kidding .call it marinade bt not Jamaican. and Jamaicans do not use allot of cinnamon in cooking .
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaican_jerk_spice
Ingredients may include cinnamon in jerk !not other seasonings. Keep reading and trying .lo
May include, not don't include. I got this recipe from someone who is married into a Jamaican family. Her recipe won a National contest. Thanks for your feedback though. The cinnamon in this recipe is not over powering.
Have you ever tried canning this? If so, how long can it be stored?
Ewan Laing relax..my friend
Too much commentary for such a small simple and easy recipe.
You could just turn the audio off. The sound is for people that like to listen to the tips and tricks of getting the recipe right.
whats with the hair
ZKT XO 😂😂😂☠️☠️ she looks like she got electrocuted 😂😂😂
Blue chopping board?????
You like?
Joeart Lacro blue actually adds more flavor
Ha
This is NOT traditional Jamaican Jerk seasoning.
How so? I got this from an authentic source. Care to tell me what would make it authentic?
Those were not scotch bonnets.
Yes they are. Take a look at Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_bonnet_(pepper)
D. Davis those were obviously scotch bonnets. You tell by the shape they were indeed bonnets
I still don't think so. A real scotch bonnet looks like a bonnet.
I'm sorry, I can only go by what they sell in the store, and it's pretty consistent.
D. Davis Scotch Bonnets dont all have the same shape. Those were Scotch Bonnets.
too many ingredients
Jerk is a very complex blend. There are many ingredients but all play a part. You can make ahead a big batch and freeze if you like!
Are u married?
Happily!
Delvon random af😂😂😂
Kyz Kyz lol
I don’t know what this is, but it is NOT authentic jerk marinade!
The Jamaican that passed it on to her DIL seems to think it is.
You haters.dont be nasty.because shes white.
? Who’s white?
You're ignorant
holy christ, whats with the hair.
Holy Christ, what's with your manners?
her hair's like that because she gotta look fab!
