Taste this iconic spicy grilled chicken marinated in a fiery blend of scotch bonnet peppers, allspice, and thyme. Roadside jerk centers offer the most authentic versions cooked over pimento wood for that distinctive smoky flavor. Boston Beach in Port Antonio claims to be the birthplace, but you'll find excellent versions throughout the island.

โWe got an order of jerk chicken for six dollars. Aaron said it was the best six dollars we spent over there. It was so good that I forgot to take a picture. The chicken was so tender, moist and well-seasoned. Nothing beats grilling over charcoal. That smoky taste made the chicken so much better. All the jerk chicken we tried in our resort could not compare. His jerk seasoning is better than all other ones that I tried.โ
โJust got back from a week in Negril, our first time in Jamaica. After asking a couple locals for recommendations on good jerk chicken spots, we checked out Best in the West and they did not disappoint. We fell in love with it, and now I'm doing my damndest to replicate it stateside. [...] The stuff in Negril was red, sweet, and tangy up front, with the herbal aerobatics and spiciness bringing up the rear.โ
