Oohhh this is so good. The best barbecue! I used chicken legs and thighs, and marinated for about 30 hours. Also used mesquite chips that had soaked in water for lots of smoke.

Mild to Medium Heat. But SoOoOoO good! I served it at a BBQ with extra hotsauce and scothbonne puree for thos who wanted more Heat! I also loaded up on the ginger (love that stuff) ... I just bought a little root and prepared the entire marinade in the blender!! The myriad of flavors jerk is so famous for came out in full force .. I'm still getting pats on the back ... and requests to have another BBQ

I cut up my pork r stir fry size, mixed the marinade, added an extra Jalapeno and 1/2 tsp hot sauce (some like it hot)Put in the pork and let marinate in the fridge for 6 hours. Removed the pork from the marinade and did a stirfry with peppers onion & mushooms, added a bit more of the marinade. Served over rice - It was fantastic! Thanks Secret I enjoyed your recipe very much

I'd never had jerk chicken before and I was pleasantly surprised with the flavour. We ran out of gas for the BBQ so I ended up having to bake the chicken in the oven and the taste was great. This will be a regular dish at our BBQ's from now on.

I've eaten a fair amount of jerk in my time. I've had jerk from roadside jerk joints on the north shore of Jamaica and I've eaten a lot of it in Toronto's jerk joints. There are a lot of Jamaican restaurants in Toronto. So I have a really good idea of what jerk dishes ought to taste like. Unfortunately this recipe, while tasty on its own merits, just doesn't cut it as jerk seasoning; it's way too mild. On a positive note though, I used some of this recipe as a shrip dip which worked out just fine.

Holy cow! This was awesome. I put everything thru a food processor and then marinated a pork loin for about 2 hours. 4 out of 4 rated it a 10! We doubled the garlic. It reminded me of the recent jerk I had on Grand Cayman. Very well done!
