Aside from Reggae, Bob Marley, Jamaica Rum, the country of Jamaica is famous for its Jerk recipes. The Jamaican Jerk Chicken is one of my ultimate favorite chicken recipe of all. The perfectly marinated meat, smoky and sweet and subtle spicy hot from habanero will surely make you crave.

The first time I had tried jerk chicken was from burger restaurant who happens to serve Jamaican dishes. I was immediately impressed by it and it was my standard order each time I visit that restaurant. I had a chance to try it on other restaurant, but the flavor wasn’t near close to the one I tried on that burger place.

I always wanted to cook Jerk Chicken but got discourage when I think about grilling it. By the way, I live in an apartment where smoking and grilling is prohibited. So, I always scrap the idea however I was contemplating if I could have done it with an Airfryer, seems I had done it with other recipes.
