My secret method is finally out for the best smoked jerk chicken on the grill. I'll also show you different ways of smoking to get that perfect smoked jerk chicken even if you don't have a grill or smoker.

$2000 1st. Place Authentic Jerk Chicken Part 2
My Competition BBQ team won $2000 1st place chicken 3 years in a row using modified jarred Walkerswood jerk seasoning.
As requested, I am sharing my homemade version of jerk marinade. I always turn the chicken on a charcoal rotisserie to self baste as the chicken cooks to make the chicken super moist with a crispy skin. Don't leave any ingredients out as they all compliment each other for 1st place jerk chicken.
Authentic Jerk Chicken Personal Recipe
Ingredients:
3-4 whole chicken legs
Marinade Ingredients:
2 scotch bonnet peppers seeded
4 cloves garlic peeled
1 TBSP fresh thyme leaves
1" knob fresh ginger
4 green onions cleaned and chopped
¼ cup tamari sauce
2 tsp. allspice powder
¼ tsp. nutmeg
⅛ tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. clove powder
1 TBSP kosher salt
2 TBSP olive oil
Smoke:
2 TBSP whole allspice berries (pimento)
12 bay leaves
Add to a foil package and seal.
Directions:
Place all of the marinade Ingredients in to a processor and pulse to make a paste.
Score the chicken pieces with a sharp knife, about a half inch deep.
Coat the pieces of the chicken completely with the marinade paste and place in a Ziploc bag. Burp the air, seal and rest in the fridge preferably overnight.
When ready preheat your grill to a medium heat.
Add the smoke package.
Cook the chicken for about 30-40 minutes or until cooked with a nice crispy skin, flipping as necessary.
Important:
Squirt with fresh lime and salt in the last 10 minutes for flavor separation.
Rest for 5 minutes to firm up the skin.
Serve with my Cauli - Mac - N - Cheese. • Cauli Mac & Cheese😎
Notes: You can substitute habaneros for the scotch bonnet peppers.
Discard the used marinade.
Authentic Jerk chicken is traditionally cooked over pimento wood but it is very hard to obtain.
Allspice berries and bay leaves are a great substitute. You can also add the berries and leaves to the coals for great smoke.
Spinning on a rotisserie over charcoal is my preferred cooking method to self baste.
If you are cooking in the oven place the chicken on a raised rack. After the chicken is cooked, you can place the chicken in a covered bowl and add an infusion of smoke from a smoke infuser gun.
This marinade is perfect for jerk pork too. Pork butt, loin, tenderloin, ribs and pork belly. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Finally getting my jerk chicken dialed in after watching this. I previously made the whole thing from scratch, then used straight Walkerswood; neither were what I remembered. I wound up making the marinade with Walkerswood, one scotch bonnet, soy sauce for umami, green onion, dry thyme (forgot to get fresh at the store), 3 cloves garlic, ginger, orange juice for sweetness, and key lime juice for some acidity I thought was missing in Walkerswood. Marinated 8 thighs overnight, smoked on a charcoal kamado with apple wood and a handful of soaked bay leaves + allspice berries at 350F, finished with a glaze of Walkerswood + key lime juice. I think it could be improved by backing off the scotch bonnet a bit to not overpower the allspice and thyme flavors and slashing the chicken more aggressively up front but I'm happy with how it came out and a little surprised the chicken didn't just disintegrate in a citrus marinade overnight. Thanks for your video.
That's not jerk chicken don't be fooled
This looks delicious. I Can't wait to try it!
Thank you, let me know how it works out!
Nice video, nice setup. I'm going to try this out.
Thanks for watching Ralph!
I decided to just film naturally with the changing light and nature sounds.
haha, winning contest with jar jerk sauce - I can't bring myself to use anything in a jar premade - especially with the very high sodium levels - fresh natural all the way......but you do you
I tried this recipe today and have to say is the best jerk chicken I’ve had. Thank you from Australia
Thank you Australia!
cheers
Thanks !!! been looking for a good recipe !! cant wait to make this!!! YAH MON!!!
made the recipe today!! it was the bomb!!!!!
Totally agree with your finding of using Walkerswood and augmenting just to get a fresh pop of some of the ingredients. I stumbled across it years ago when it was only in Caribbean specialty stores. And I mix whole allspice berries and hickory chips for smoke. Almost as good as Scotchies!
We finally got a grill and I have the chicken marinading in the fridge right now! I made your recipe before in the oven which was still delicious but cant wait to try it on the new grill :)
Congratulations on the new grill.
Don’t forget the smoke. You know I have to make jerk chicken now. Let us know how it works out.
bump on the "thanks for walkerswood" . I agree on the lower temp/smoke. I cook on a pellet grill, and have found that mesquite seems to pair well with Jerk chicken. Good info thank you.
This was extremely knowledgeable thank you!
Thanks Erik!
This has to be the greatest channel on you tube....love it!
Well that is the best comment ever.
Thank you
@@KetoLifestyleRecipes I have a 13 inch Blackstone griddle; and a Corsori air fryer; would; I get good results from these two cookwares from your jerk recipe?
Thanks for your video! Very creative to add fresh ingredients to store bought Walkerswood to enhance the flavors, and the finishing sauce is great idea too! I don’t have a smoker or bbq grill though, i just have an oven.
Thanks
The oven or air fryer will work out fine too.
That’s what’s up man thanks for sharing!
Already had my jerk down, I added some of the ingredients you used & it sent it over the top. I smoke at 275. Nothing but compliments !!
Been using walkerswood for years , love it !
Nice,getting ready to try it.
Please share your results and tell us what you think of the jerk.., Thanks
Making is now going to grill tomorrow. Thank you my friend.✌️
Thank you!
Please let us know how it goes
Keto Lifestyle It took me long enough to reply LOL. It turned out fantastic!! I made it on my Weber kettle, indirect heat, two apple wood chunks. I made your finishing sauce. My only regret is not making more. It went fast. Actually making it right now. Thanks so much.✌️👍
Recipe is very simple. TY
Great video, nothing wrong with using a jar seasoning. You added your fresh ingredients, adding great aromatics. I’ve had some great jerk chicken made this way
Thanks and it got the job done for $2000 first place
@@KetoLifestyleRecipes three years
Looks great !! I’m on to this one :))
Thanks, don't for get the smoke!
Just found you. Really like your style/presentation. Subscribed.
Thank you very much! Sorry for the late reply.
Nice video, looks good, I’ve tried Walkerswood before and it’s good, however I enjoy making my own Jerk Marinade from scratch, I found a good recipe in a Caribbean cook book over 20+ years ago and I’ve been making it ever since.
Thank you,
My recipe is for lazy cooks.
I have jerk pork butt on the smoker right now for company.
Id love to see your scratch recipe if you would share.
Please share.
Made it today bro, haven't tasted yet but I just noticed you had a grate across your tray. I didn't but it'll still be good I bet. Thank you so much for the recipe
Thanks for trying it, what did you think?
The raised rack makes it crispy on both sides.
Your welcome, lots more just like that to come.
@@KetoLifestyleRecipes we loved it! Definitely gonna be a staple for my smoker, thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Next up jerk pork... same recipe but with a two day marinade. I butterfly a boneless butt and spin it over charcoal and applewood smoke. Boom out of the park.
I need to find out what competition is because I see a easy $2000
Thanks for the tip on the Walkerswood! Loving it! Hey, just my .02... I grill mine directly on a bed of knob or green onions (wet), a few bunches. They get really blackened of course, but it's just a killer way to grill chix. Thanks again!
Wow, looks good
Another good Jamaican Jerk seasoning that's comparable to Walkerswood is made by Carib! Definitely try it out sometime
New Subscriber. Keep the videos coming
Thank you, Lots to come
This is my go to recipe. I add a little bit of lime juice, allspice, and sukrin gold brown sugar substitute to marinade. I also put all ingredients in a processor to make more of a paste to rub over the chicken.
Thanks dad... Just made the best jerk chicken i ever made... How did i not find this video before... So simple and so damn tasty...
Thank you
Here is my personal authentic Jerk recipe if you are interested?

Dad
Hi, thanks for the video. So you’re not placing directly on the grill? Is that a tray? I look forward to trying this. Also, you mentioned indirect heat. So the tray is placed over the off side or it’s indirect because it’s on the tray? Thanks
I use a foil tray with a raised rack for easy clean-up. when I cook indirect. I have the outside burners turned on with no heat directly below the tray.
the tray helps deflect the heat too.
Thanks
Great recipe. Gave me the idea to buy an Ikea table, then painted the legs in 4 different colours and entered a furniture design competition. Got disqualified.😂
I subscribed, also island spice rub is pretty close too
Thank you for subscribing, it’s very much appreciated!
I’m going to try and find Island Spice.
I would've thought you would have to use your own recipes for a marinade to win a jerk chicken contest
It wasn't a jerk chicken contest.
We were competing in the chicken category. This recipe worked three years in a row first place. Blew the judges away.
This was indirect, any thoughts on more traditional direct over charcoal? Maybe indirect for 3/4 then finish direct heat?
Jamaican man here. You're lucky I wasn't there. Easy $2,000 for me. I make my jerk sauce from scratch.
it wasn't a jerk chicken contest!
We competed in the chicken category. First place three years in a row.
So why lie in your title
Well done.
Used walkerswood to make jerk shrimp tacos with grilled pineapple and a fresh corn salsa topped with some guacamole. Best tacos I ever had. Walkerswood is legit.
Am i hearing incorrectly or do you have an Irish accent? Sounds cool either way.😂❤ delicious looking grub
Thank you.
No, that's a Canadian accent.
I highly recommend that you try the Jamaican Jerk Marinade from Reggae Spice Company. No sugar so Keto friendly. Hot and spicy is very hot and Sweet and sassy has no heat. Your family will love the flavors.
Thanks I'll hunt it down and give it a go.
Sam the Cooking Guy's Jerk recipe turned out pretty tasty.
Try my jerk chicken it’s really good.
Grace jerk seasoning is great too
That’s a cute little fog machine you got there...
I'm a Jamaican and if you want to make good jerk chicken, you must make your own jerk sauce from scratch
Tell him brethren. You can't be jerk chicken champ using Walkers Wood Jerk sauce. A joke thing this 😆
Nah. Not true.
I was born in the 60s bro
It wasn't a jerk chicken contest!
We cooked in the chicken category.
Modified Walkerswood is perfect for people that have never tasted jerk.
First place three years in a row.
$2000 isn't a joke. Most competitors turned in BBQ sauced chicken so Jerk was a hit. I'm simply showing how we won and how you can cook it at home with ease. I shared mine, you share your recipe and method.
You literally came on the man video to tell him what to do, this is why people always find fault wit us Jamaicans, real dunce head. Let the man do what he's been doing..You.could of give him a simple compliment🤡.
S.J.B. Montréal Jerk was the best ready to use Jerk on the market for me ( need few other spice tho ) but Steven Raichlen recipe in Barbecue Sauces and Marinade book still my favorite if made one count ! Walker wood hot in paste is pretty good too and it was not expensive but i still like my home made habanero hot sauce bether to spice it more then i adjust with few other spice . Realy taste if someone never try it before he should put that on his to do list !
Lol where is this contest for real
I will have to try this recipe out! I have my chicken marinating right now and didn't see this until it was too late. It's getting ready for the grill and my pimentos and bay leaves are soaking. Should I also add some applewood chips? What is the best way to create some smoke with a gas grill... Perhaps using some tin foil in some way?? The last time I was at an Asian grocery store, I picked up a jar of Jamaican Pimento seasoning made by Carib. I am not really sure how to use this or what it is for. Aside from having some awesome Jerk Chicken in Jamaica, I haven't ever prepared it or found a restaurant that does. I prepared a rub from scratch and a sauce/marinade after finding what I thought was close to being authentic and what I ate in Jamaica. The marinade tastes so wonderful by itself.. can't wait to try it out on a piece of the chicken. I need to purchase some more Jamaican whole pimentos as I used all of them. Is jerk chicken usually served with a dipping sauce? Thank you for sharing your information and congratulations on the win. I'll be trying your recipe next. Perhaps I'll have the seasoning by then!
For quick smoke on a gas grill, wrap some wood chips in foil and place on the burner. wood pellets also give great smoke.
As for a jerk finishing sauce, I sometimes use Walkerswood with a squirt of fresh lime.
thanks
my only question.. is the skin done ? as in crispy? I have no doubt your seasonings are spot on!! And if your winning competitions !! Just tell me this.. How is the texture of the skin. Subscribed !
Absolutely the skin is crispy as you want. This method is super moist too.
Yes sir you found the secrets how to make jerk chicken abroad
Thank you, Nothing like Jerk out of Montego Bay, Jamaica though.
@@KetoLifestyleRecipes lol no man Portland is where you get the best jerk on the island
@@rohansimpson9605 Portland? Where?
Can you smoke jerk with oak wood? Great recipe will be defo fireing up the drum for this one!
Oak is really good on the jerk chicken too, just make sure you have a clean burn. Let me know how it works out.
Thanks
No, Authentic Jerk smoky flavor comes from pimento wood. if you use a different wood its tastes good but it will not be jerk chicken
@@MinniNatty Pimento can be tough to find and expensive if you do get it. Any type of wood smoke is better than gas or oven. If you want a more neutral smoke just use charcoal and cook low and slow.
@@miamiwax5504 Yes, it hard to find. My Mum usually gets hers from amazon, it’s expensive.
Grace is a good one
Homemade jerk paste is the way to go…
Not so much. One jarred sauce, two no dry rub, no palm sugar, please let us know where this contest is being held so we can make an extra 2k
Walkerswood is the best.. but, wonderchuck and bushman brown's are also fantastic
I’ve never heard of wonderchuck. I’ll hunt it down. Thanks
@@KetoLifestyleRecipes it is hard to find these days, probably online but it's well worth it. It's a thinner sauce so let marinade abit longer but its excellent.. sometimes I'll add a bit of walkerswood just to make it abit thicker.
@@ratherbecamping5564 Thanks, I just found Wonder Chuck Jerk here:
wonderchuck.com/products/
Wow without ever watching your video i have almost the same recipe as this lol. Only difference really is that i added some cinnamon and nutmeg for the dry seasoning part along with black pepper..and i squeeze an entire lime onto it first
I also mix the jerk seasoning with some sweet and spicy bbq and throw some on every so often when it's almost done
I use the lime and salt at the very end for that zing...
@@KetoLifestyleRecipes i gotta do that now too!
Jerk chicken 🐔 is soooooo good 🤤

See Jerkman's Grill Top Ten Jerk Seasoning in the Supermarket. Your competitors are now going to be using Walkers Wood.Do'nt Worry! Jerkman's Grill is coming out with a Seasoning that is going to knock Walkers Wood Socks off the gridd & redeem your $2,000.00 & Bragging Rights.
What’s the name of this competition?
vid gets too busy at the end but still great!!!!!
You just need to cut it up Jamaican style🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💯💯💯
Walker s wood seasoning is the original jerkseasoing from day I born in the same neighborhood they make I born 72 and than been number 1forever
I like how you add white vinegar -- very over looked ingredient IMO. I also like your finishing touches with the salt and look forward to trying it. However, it can't be habanero or scotch bonnet. It has to be scotch bonnet. My jerk is scotch bonnet-centric, and if it is missing, it just does not hit right at all. But hey, that's just my opinion.
I agree Bonnie peppers all the way but sometimes habaneros in a pinch when you can find them.
Can I come over 🇯🇲🌺🇯🇲🌺
Which 1st prize that ?
Jerk Chicken $2000 1st.place, three years in a row.
I also tried making my own jerk seasoning and none was as good as walkerwood. 😓
We used the Walkerswood Jerk in competition with great success but I also have a very good homemade version which is now my go to.
Tell that carib guy stay Trinidad walkers wood greatest
That looks like rotisserie
Those are quarters, man-not “legs”
Here in North America, they are labeled legs in the grocery store. The leg consists of the thigh and drum.
Making your own marinade is not rocket science. I make my own as well as enhance Walkerswood.
So you don’t make your own jerk ???
As I explained in the video, we used Walkerswood Jerk. It is the best commercial jerk out there. It paid off as we won $2000 1st place three years in a row. Most people don’t want to hunt down ingredients especially in a pandemic. I smoke with applewood. I tried for years to get pimento, can’t do it.
@@KetoLifestyleRecipes where was this competition because of it was a real jerk competition they would disqualify you for using store bought
@@Alldaylongfishing
Not a jerk competition
It was in the chicken category and you can use what ever you want to win. You would be surprised at all the trickery in BBQ competition. enhancing Injections, meat glue etc..
Hey $2000 first place three years in a row worked for us.
I'm just sharing how we did it with jacked up Walkerswood jerk.
You don’t need pimento wood, just add some whole all spice with the wood. Just a little tip..
Your chicken wings link is kaput 😢
Hi Adriana,
Thanks for the heads up on the chicken wing link at the end of jerk chicken. It worked for me though. I’ll look into it a little more. Strange?
My 1st place parrot sticks wing recipe won trophies and money in competition if you want to give it a go?

How do you enter a Jerk Chicken competition while using a store bought marinade 😂😂😂😂😂
Right. Joke thing.
DONT SHARE YOUR SECRET
Nice video, and I absolutely love Walkerswood, but sorry, if you're not using Pimento wood, you can't really call it authentic jerk. It's expensive, but well worth it. Just my .02. Been using both over 15 years. Never competed, but there's never any leftovers. Congrats on your winnings.
Wth…. Caucasians jerk chicken
No way
If you didn’t use pimento wood to smoke the chicken the judges opinion becomes irrelevant because you haven’t followed the authentic recipe. And using jerk sauce from a jar instead of making your own sauce is insane.
No additve
Welll tha look to simple to say tha is jerk chicken, nooo take it personal ok, reason I said wat I said is bc I watch lot of videosss, on ur recipe where is the flavor sweet n hot ? Look dry to me !
Walkerswood tastes like burnt tires to us. Sorry. I am not a fan. I am currently ordering Grace brand which is hard to get hold of.
Gas grill ?????
Lord Jesus wtf 😩😩😩😩
I have all kinds of smokers but the majority only have access to a gas grill or oven. I talked about smoking options and got some good smoke on it. It got the job done.
As a Jamaican I think it would be ok to use that seasoning if you were at home . But to win a competition for jerk using a store bought walkers is very unauthentic and you did not deserve to win . A real jerk man makes his own damn jerk seasoning. I’m not going to be subscribing 🤬👎
It wasn't a jerk chicken competition!
I introduced simple rotisserie jerk to the judges.
I was simply sharing how we won first place chicken 3 years in a row.
A simple recipe that it could be reproduced consistently at home.
Judges disagree with you as we received 5 100% scores.
I'm pretty sure I could kick your ass in a competition.
THAT'S NOT REAL JERK CHICKEN MY BOY FOH!
This is NOT jerk chicken. Don't offend real jerk chefs with this fakery, roasted pale pasty chicken. Didn't even bbq it! It was basically roasted. And you used a jarred paste pmsl
The channel is called "Keto Lifestyle". The jerk seasoning contains sugar. That does not compute. Read the ingredients on the bottle and make your seasoning. All seasonings are listed in the order of amount. Experiment and you'll find the mixture you like. Make it without sugar or use a healthy sugar substitute. 😎
Probably should not say, doin butts😂
