Tha Jerk Chicken






Barb is a project woman!! She had last Thursday off work and she decided to make jerk chicken.I firsted tasted this dish at some of the carribean shops that served homestyle food in Neasden in the UK. Barbara and I lived here when we went travelling in 2000.

"Jerk" style cooking comes from Jamica, with two key spices: allspice (Jamician pimento) & Scotch Bonnet peppers. The latter are a bit tricky to find in Sydney so Barb used red ball peppers and red chillies. Jamican food has Chinese and East Indian influences.

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaican_jerk_spice and if you want to see Tracy cook some jerk chicken go to: http://www.jamaicatravelandculture.com/food_and_drink/jerk_chicken.htm

As you can see by the photo below we all loved the jerk chicken!
