    This is a great recipe. But, the essential ingredient for truly Authentic Jerk Chicken is cooking over PIMENTO WOOD. Pimento wood is wood from the Jamaican Allspice tree and gives Jerk it's unique flavor. Google pimento wood - easy to order

    Walkerswood Caribbean Kitchen marinade is my absolute favorite. To kick it up i add a little more cayenne pepper. You can't really go wrong with this recipe! It's moist, juicy, and a delicious flavor.
