Intro / Feature

Happiest of Sunday to you and yours again !

And since its Sunday (traditionally Rice & Peas and Chicken day here) it is probably fitting that I share our response to this frequently asked question about authentic Jamaican Jerk Chicken.

And since we are not chefs, far from that actually, Kesha solicited 'expert' advice from a seasoned professional in the St. Thomas / Portland area - the home of Jerk here.
