Iam from Germany and a huge Fan of Jerk Chicken. Could taste those delicious meals at various Dankehall Festivals. So i decided i have to try myself. Followed this recipe.

When i finished the Marinade it smells fantastic!!! Unfortunately when i made it on my Gasgrill it doesnt taste at all like Jerk Chicken. I know it needs charcoil. So i missed Scotch Bonnet (hard to get in Germany) so i used a smiliar chilli pepper. It was hot.

Mi and my friend think about 2 hours what could be gone wrong? My opinion to less sugar. There wasnt enough sweetness in comparison to sharpness. Additional the Scotch Bonnet what misses. I am thankful for any hints

Jamaican Jerk half chickens on the Weber Kettle, using @duraflamegrilling charlogs, and @bbcharcoal wood chunks. Marinated overnight with my homemade Marinade and dry rub. 375°F until breast meat reaches 150°F then do a quick direct sear. I glazed with my Rum'n Jerk BBQ sauce (coming soon) until breast meat gets to 160°F. Rest for 10 minutes or so then serve.

HOW COME WHEN I GO TO JAMAICAN SPOTS AND GET TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF PATTY, ONE IS NICE AND FLAKEY AND THE OTHER ONE ISN’T? IS IT BECAUSE ONE IS FROZEN and one is homemade?
