Jerk Chicken and Jerk Ribs

Decided to go ahead and make some jerk chicken and a slab of baby back ribs on the Pit Barrel Cooker. The cook came out great. Next time I'll use a little more spice but other than that I have no complaints! :)

In case anyone was wondering about the double hooks in the chicken, it was a precautionary measure due to the way the chicken was cut. The thighs were hanging down a bit and I didn't want anything to fall into the coals.

Looks great. Do you make your own jerk marinade? I've been looking for a good recipe. We have a great little authentic Jamaican restaurant but they aren't sharing their secrets. Haha .

I found this recipe on another site for Jerk Marinade and I made it once and it was outstanding. It's a lot of ingredients...

    3⁄4 cup (185 ml) white vinegar
    1⁄2 cup (125 ml) orange juice
    1⁄4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
    1⁄4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
    1 lime, juiced
    2 Tbsp (30 ml) garlic powder
    1 Tbsp (15 ml) dried thyme leaves
    1 Tbsp (15 ml) ground allspice
    1 1⁄2 tsp (7.5 ml) dried red chili flakes
    1 1⁄2 tsp (7.5 ml) dried ground sage
    1 1⁄2 tsp (7.5 ml) freshly ground black pepper
    1 tsp (5 ml) kosher salt
    3⁄4 tsp (4 ml) ground cinnamon
    3⁄4 tsp (4 ml) ground nutmeg
    1 cup (250 ml) chopped onion
    3 green onions, finely chopped
    1 Scotch bonnet chili, seeded and chopped

That was part one of the recipe, it could easily stand alone as is but this was the second part that the jerk marinade above is added to before coating the wings...

    1⁄2 cup (125 ml) canola oil
    1⁄4 cup (60 ml) Jerk Marinade
    2 Tbsp (30 ml) chili powder
    2 Tbsp (30 ml) onion powder
    1 Tbsp (15 ml) garlic powder
    1 Tbsp (15 ml) smoked paprika
    1 Tbsp (15 ml) freshly ground black pepper
    1 jalapeño chili (for less heat, seed the chili)
    1 tsp (5 ml) kosher salt
    1⁄2 tsp (2 ml) ground ginger

Awesome. I'll give this one a try. Too many jerk recipes are either too sweet or overly heavy on the cinnamon and allspice. It's hard to find inexpensive pimento wood as well but I'll make do with some apple or wild cherry.

Jerk chicken is one of my favorite ways to cook chicken on it. I cheat and buy premade marinade though lol
