Jerk Sauce
Posted on 2/12/23 at 4:12 pm

Back in the late 90’s, there was a dude that would bbq some chicken thighs and used a jerk sauce with them. My drunken self ate that shite up when I’d leave the bayou or library joes. I’d like to do that. I have a pack of thighs, what’s a good jerk sauce? Recommendations?

For a store bought sauce, Walkerswood jerk sauce is great. Easily the best I've tried.
For a homemade sauce, I enjoy this one. Scotch bonnets can be hard to find, but habaneros will work in their place. If you like it hotter add a couple extra peppers.

You can make really good jerk chicken by just marinading in jerk sauce for a couple hours and grilling.
But to get the authentic jerk chicken flavor, you first need to season the chicken with green seasoning overnight or up to 48 hours, then marinate with jerk a minimum of 30 minutes or overnight, before grilling.
Now, every Caribbean cook has their own recipe for green seasoning but, a quick internet search will provide ample results for you to use. It may show up as Caribbean green seasoning, Trini green seasoning, or Jamaican green seasoning. It's typical a blend of various herbs, spices, and aromatics such as citrus, ginger, celery, garlic green pepper, scallions, hot pepper, thyme, parsley, cilantro...
One last thing, if you like jerk chicken, you should try jerk pork chops. Use bone-in, blade end pork chops (not center cut or sirloin end) and follow the same preparation for chicken.

I made some tonight. I use Oakridge BBQ Jamaican jerk seasoning. Mix equals parts canola oil and seasoning in zip lock makes a paste you marinate in over night. Then season with more rub before grilling. We have black beans and yams with ours,

Their recipe here doesn’t seem as good as it is in Jamaica. Some zipline guides made us some chicken with walkerswood and it was a shite load better there. It’s still really good here, maybe they just used something else with it.

I think the wood they smoke/barbeque with makes a difference. I forget what kind they use.

Wouldn’t have bothered me, had it before on a shawarma, but its not like it was McDonalds Chicken McNuggets. It’s pretty easy to tell what is a breast/thigh/drumstick of a chicken.

I really like the Oakridge jerk seasoning, but Oakridge has gone out of business. I really liked their rubs. Bought a number at the end of last year when they announced they were shutting their doors.

Damn i’m screwed. I’m used all their rubs for BBQ. I bought a bunch when they had a sale last fall but guess I will have to look elsewhere shite.

After experimenting a good bit it seems like there’s practically two kinds of jerk, one that is more “domesticated” and more palatable to most people and one that is legit and highly flavorful, spicy but that a lot of normal palates wouldn’t appreciate? I enjoy the latter fwiw but it can be a mouthful (pun). Just an observation if grilling it for the masses.

Walkerswood hot and spicy.
