I love this jerk seasoning rub on barbeque chicken thighs although any meat will be transformed instantly. Jerk seasoning originates in Jamaica and traditionally is very hot with the introduction of scotch bonnet peppers to the mix but on this occasion I’ve decided to keep the “fire” under control and bring out the more subtle herb and spice flavours.
As with all rubs, they’re very easy to throw together and so add tremendous dimension to your grilling options for a very low amount of work. All you’ve got to do is rub it on!
Ingredients:-
1 tablespoon onion flakes
2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon all spice
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Method:-
Break out the airtight jars, throw all the ingredients into a jar and give it a cocktail shake. Job done, rub it on your meat and you’re ready to grill. Remember, life in Jamaica is in the slow lane so take it easy, stretch out in your hammock and enjoy a Caribbean cocktail!
