We had a blast of summer heat yesterday here in Boston, so had to grill and had to try this Jerk . . . . . EXCELLENT.
Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention, I was really pleased with the heat, flavor, citrus note . . . all around a winner! I bought the “spicy” marinade (I also bought the hot and spicy version but decided to use the spicy first) and knew it was going to have a good spice when I used my hand to mix the chicken with the marinade and about 20 minutes later my hand had that “tingle” that comes from exposure to hot chilis. I’m going to stock up on it!
For anyone looking for it in the Boston area (at least at my Hannafords) . . . it took me a while to find in the store. I thought it would have been with all the BBQ sauces, which also include other Jerk seasonings, teriyake marinades, etc. But I was wrong, it was a few isles over in the “ethnic”/Mexican isle - it had a shelf off by itself.
For those that are label hunters (always makes finding things easier for me) I used the marinade (bottle with neck) and also bought the “seasoning”. The ingredients seem virtually the same but the marinade lists “water” as the first ingredient and the seasoning has brown sugar (if memory serves). Both are “wet”, meaning the seasoning isn’t a dry powder style seasoning.
