    1. ​@Here4TheHeckOfIt habaneros will suffice…they’re from the same family. Also though they don’t mention it…try and order some pimento wood to grill it over

    2. ​@charlesdarden1631too bad pimento wood is like $10/stick. Probably not a very sustainable product to be exporting anyway

    3. ​@JBNatto you don’t need a yard. Just enough to use sparingly when you make jerk chicken.

  1. Little known secret real jerk in Jamaica is cooked over dried seaweed. The stuff that they had way too much of last year. It contains MSG so it adds flavor while it’s also adding smoke and heat. Not really the easiest thing to find around here. Big blocks of seaweed that you can use for a fire. But those living near the ocean can probably improvise.

    1. Do they put the chicken directly on the seaweed? Cause if they just put the seaweed in the fire I highly doubt that the MSG in it does anything

    2. “How does smoke work” would be a terrific book for you to read. By your logic, food cooked over wood wouldn’t taste at all like wood.

    3. t-bonestickyfingers1336 Fat, dumb and stupid are no way to go through life, son.

    4. t-bonestickyfingers1336 It can be. But that’s not how it started. Along we being wrong yourself, that’s rude.

      If you have anything else to say, come up to your moms room and say it to my face.

    1. ​t-bonestickyfingers1336The jerk chicken i ate off the carts on the side of the road in Jamaica smoked it for hours. It was easily the best chicken I’ve ever had. About 20 years ago.

    3. ​t-bonestickyfingers1336It’s smoked, low and slow, in a cart, on the side of the road.

    4. ​t-bonestickyfingers1336Have you been there? Do you know Jamaica’s trade relations? Have you had Magnum wine or Dragon Stout, or ackee & saltfish, conch? Blue Mountain coffee, or dinner with the Rastas?

  2. Dark meat tests better when it’s cooked to like 175-180F internally

  3. Looks like they got some chemistry cooking between them. Alright alright alright.
