Jerk chicken

Jerk is a method of cooking, originating from Jamaica. In the past hunters used it to smoke and dry meat – they dug holes in the ground, lid fire and then buried the meat in the charcoals. The originally used spices for preserving the meat were allspice (aka Jamaican pepper) and clove. Later Jerk recipe was amended, chilies, lime, honey/sugar were added but the method of baking the meat remained the same. Today oven and BBQ replaced the fire and jerk marinade is applied to any kind of meat and fish.
