Dec 1stJerk chicken for Parker

My uncle has been laid up recently.  I thought his favorite meal might be a welcome change from hospital food so I went to the teets (‘Merica).  Parker taught me a lot about the joy of cooking during holidays and at Bulldogs in Ocean City.  He also taught me about jerk chicken.  I gathered the requisite ingredients, and then went to EF’s photoshoot.

Hours and hours later, I got down to business.

I used a cheater marinade, but did grind my own jerk spice mix.  I do what I want.

The different between good jerk and everything else is pimento wood.  If you don’t get pimento smoke on your jerk, it isn’t jerk.

Kate and Dan made some excellent fried plantains and black beans and rice.

Heaven.  Pro tip, guinness is what one drinks with jerk.  I did also have some red stripe and ginger beer though.  Treat yo-self.

Marteen brought a gift, and a very nice new gf.

Hope you enjoyed the jerk Parker!
