I almost do the jerk chicken this way, in Jamaica they use pimenta wood, which I cant get ahold of so I use the berries from the pimenta tree(allspice) soak it wrap it with tin foil poke a few holes and add it to the grill..adds a new depth
That jerk chicken looks delicious! Also, I have had a stainless steel coiled grill brush for 3 years so far, and I think it works amazing! Yes, you do have to maneuver it just like turning the Weber bristle brush on its side to get between grill grates, but the coiled grill brush always gives me peace of mind and a clean grill.
the skin helps it to retain the juices and keep the meat underneath from getting dried and tough. I usually put the seasoning under the skin, poke in near the bone and get the season in there too as well as around. I want my joint seasoned to the bone fuh truth! 😂🤣
None of the grill brushes reviewed have a water reservoir. I have a grill brush that has a water reservoir that is the absolute best at cleaning the grill, due to the steaming of the hot grate removing all the stuff from the grill and also seasoning at the same time.
Wow! Those wings are truly amazing! Gorgeous looking. I'm older than both of you ladies..... Those are definitely THE best looking BBQ wings I've ever seen! 😋 👍🏻 🇺🇲
Grill grate cleaning tip... flip grate over between cooks. Light your fire let it get hot then scrub with any metal brush. But alternating sides of the grate makes cleaning easier
I make jerk wings all the time so why not do both? Also a killer sauce to toss jerk wings in is half cup brown sugar quarter cup dijon mustard punch of allspice and quarter cup very hot water.
Definitely try jerk seasoned wings. Just marinate the wings in a jerk paste and use pimento wood, the pimento tree is where allspice berries grow, when you smoke the wings.
Oh snap I always to say “Juk” meaning to poke but didn’t know it was related to Jerk. I’m Barbadian 🇧🇧-American and sometimes would speak some Bajan Creole (broken english) words. I aslo met a Panamanian 🇵🇦 that would say Juk too and that’s when we realised it wasn’t unique to our own countries.

For an authentic jerk chicken, doesn’t the marinade usually include some kind of acidic ingredient like lime juice rather than squeezing of lime after cooking?
@@Pumbakuko As a Spanish speaker this drives me crazy too. Or how they try to "Italianize" words. ChorizTzo, dulcHe de leche for example. It's a thing for sure.
@@TheBeefTrain Why do you figure that? you do realize that not all Jamaicans are one race right? I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting a cultural food to be cooked by an individual of that culture.
Metal bristle grill brushes are extremely dangerous. Most deteriorate quickly and the bristles can dislodge. My family member almost died from ingesting a metal shard from a brush. Avoid these at all costs. Was glad the issue was at least discussed, the seriousness was minimized though.
I have seen the xrays of metal bristles youre talking about! I still use a metal brush on my gas grill because i like how they remove bbq sauce and marinades that have sugar, but i rinse my grates because of those xrays! I also replace my brush annually because nothing is made to last anymore. Not even my nylon brush for my cheater smoker.
I have a piece of 2x3 untreated pine that I use to clean my grates. Both bristle and coil brushes eventually deteriorated and started leaving fragments of metal on my grates and in my grill.
Actually ladies,Jerk Chicken seasoning was invented by the Arawak/Taino Indians 2500 years ago. Not to discredit the Maroons, but they only adapted the jerking seasoning chicken technique down the line being taught. Jerk Seasoning didn't come from or invented by African Slaves even though some blogs says it was conceived by theM.. All this info is on the web ladies.
I get the impression that the jerk marinate was too spicy, based on Julia's reaction to the smell of the blended marinate and their taking only one bite of the chicken. The chicken looked delicious. Wouldn't want my mouth on fire to distract from the overall flavor of the chicken, so personally I would use only 1/2 of a habanero. Nothing worse than food that is over spiced.
Yikes… that seasoning is too light in color, too runny and missing clove & fresh ginger. I mean I bet it tastes good but you need those extra flavors. And if you can find scotch bonnet peppers use them in place of habanero. 👌🏽
@@christopherestewart in Meatheads book, he suggests an actual tin of chips in water, so that the water evaporates as your dry chips smoke in another container, then the other will be ready to go once dry, probably more effective that just barely wet chips.
The Maroons were random people from random parts of Africa that didn’t speak the same language and probably could never talked to each other but your story is interesting.
Why are their NO people of colour doing this? Sure White people CAN do it... But I'd like to see people of colour talking about their food and history.
Then find another channel. Also, make sure you spam all TH-cam cooking channels with black chefs and let them know they can only make food derived from slaves and to delete all of their videos showing Italian, Mexican, etc recipes. Thanks.
Rachel I’m Jamaican, you can eliminate the sugar if you want, sugar and slat helps to Preserve the meat in those days when they used to do jerk they had no refrigerators so that is why they added the sugar to help to preserve the meat so you can take out the sugar and add salt to taste. Also we use Jamaican Jamaican Lager beer to smoke it.
I appreciate how you show the advertised segment first, and then let us decide if we want to stay for the rest of the content.

I love BBQ’ing/grilling. Using a temperature probe greatly improved my results, no more guessing. Thank you Cooks Kitchen and America’s Test Kitchen

I didn't know that. Never been. Cool hint. Thanks Moo Cow and Sandra H. Good stuff, will experiment.

I always love the history behind these dishes. After watching this episode, it has made me research more about the Maroon people and their history.
Great episode! The weber grill blur at 18:40 is unnecessary :)

You are suppose to score the chicken pieces to allow the jerk seasoning to penetrate the meat. Very similar to how tandoori chicken is marinated.
the skin helps it to retain the juices and keep the meat underneath from getting dried and tough. I usually put the seasoning under the skin, poke in near the bone and get the season in there too as well as around. I want my joint seasoned to the bone fuh truth! 😂🤣
I mean you are after all the Charles Dickens of how you marinade your chickens.
I wonder if there will ever be a time when the tasters say, "I'm not real crazy about it" LOL
I always put lime and orange in my jerk marinade
Can’t wait to try will follow up. Thank you 😊
That chicken looks amazing. You can tell it would be hard to stop eating it.
I love the smokey flavour of jerk chicken this is the only authentic way to make jerk chicken
I love the wing tip! And I like it a little bit burned.

Bridget and Christie are always so lovely and great together~!!
Always thought they used Scotch Bonnet peppers, not habaneros
@@sandrah7512 Scotch Bonnets unfortunately are much harder to find. Even habaneros just became more common across most of the US.
You are correct but we can't always get them in the USA so we will occasionally use habaneros. The flavor isn't the same though
Grill perfection recipes THANKS

Bryan Roof..the ultimate daddy!!!
The pumice stone works pretty well, too, and is much cheaper than that wood scraper.
Both recipes look delicious! However, I'm a wing girl...time to ask my brother if I can borrow his grill, lol...

Definitely try jerk seasoned wings. Just marinate the wings in a jerk paste and use pimento wood, the pimento tree is where allspice berries grow, when you smoke the wings.
Love the flats mysef. :)

🇯🇲🇯🇲Jerk Chicken 😋😋😋
very short handles - when the grill is crazy hot, you're very close to the grill on the scrape motion....
Can I used something other than butter??
I love Christie
Jerk Paste is a great band name!

Need some rice & peas, coleslaw and plantains and end with a slice of rum cake
Habanero, not habañero. Also, classic jerk calls for scotch bonnet peppers.
For an authentic jerk chicken, doesn’t the marinade usually include some kind of acidic ingredient like lime juice rather than squeezing of lime after cooking?
Just when all the chicken wings are scare. 😉
Thank you doing historical research and sharing it. But don't put lime on it
Hey, girls, this is Mary short from Donna Oklahoma. I've been wondering how to do those wings
Grill grate continuity?
2:05 - as a linguist, I find it interesting that the English pronunciation of jalapeño is halaPEENo, and habanero is habaKNEEero. How fun!

Hey finally a recipe that's not just trying to *jerk* me around!
Can you do this on a gas grill?
This is better... just get a jar of this... Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning.
The history lesson is great I really appreciated that. I think it’d be cool if a Jamaican chef was showcasing this.
Why? Chef’s are chefs.
Good idea. They should also delete the episode last week then where a black chef made a steak since we all have to segregate now.
@@wayneachen3568 yes that is correct, its just something I would have liked to see.

Based on many of the comments, people are only allowed to show recipes that reflect their heritage.
Guys there is no pimento berries, it’s what Cures the chicken or the meat.
@@sandrah7512 yes your right

Wings without a award winning ranch and blue cheese dip. We need dips!!!!
Wingstop Ranch is the best
Hey Cooks/America's Test Kitchen, habanero is pronounced Ha-ba-ne-ro (no tilde on the n), and jalapeno is pronounced ha-la-pen-yo.
Elliott Smith points cuz they said “between the bars”
Cold beer?
Thank you for saying "enslaved people" instead of "slaves". Word choice matters

okay... but chicken only needs to stay at 145 for 1 minutes to be pasteurized so why cook it to 165 for 1 second?
They has soy sauce in the Caribbean?

Steel bristles have been know to break off and get into peoples intestines and cause medical emergencies.

Ugh... Soaking wood chips is a myth.
Amazing how you avoid the words ‘slave, slavery’.
This isn't Twitter. Go cry and be fake offended somewhere else. Also, they literally said the word "enslavement" you wanna be victim.
"jerkmaster"?
FYI, it's habanero, not habañero.
rather than moving all the chicken to the other side of the grill,,,why not just spin the grill half way around
All jerk chicken needs to be grilled so the title seems weird lol
The sexual innuendos in this show is only rivaled by the recipes
A little dialogue besides “ok” would be fine!!! Holy lord what happened to that crusty dude
can we stop telling people to soak their wood chips now? it’s not necessary.
If you need a long smoke, do two packets of wood chips. One unsoaked to start smoking right away and one soaked to dry out and start smoking.
@@christopherestewart in Meatheads book, he suggests an actual tin of chips in water, so that the water evaporates as your dry chips smoke in another container, then the other will be ready to go once dry, probably more effective that just barely wet chips.
There's something really special about two white ladies telling me the history of Jamaican cuisine.
