Brad, jerk chicken looks fan-taste-tic! Thank you for putting the “snake in my boot” bit back into your videos. Your humor and gags (not to mention SOLID BBQ info) are what set your videos apart from every other BBQ channel on KZread.

Keep it up Brad, you're show is very inspirational to us amateurs. Thank you for doing what you do!

Brad, I enjoy your videos and respect you even more for being so honest about the recipe.

As someone who makes and eats jerk chicken a lot, these days I’m lazy and just opt for Walkerswood Hot, and perk up the marinade. A couple things here though. If you can get scotch bonnets, try that, as there is a small but noticeable difference in the flavor profile. If you live in NY, especially around Brooklyn,/Queens, where there is a large Caribbean population, this is super easy to come by. Also, pimento wood (from the allspice tree) is what they use in Jamaica and the Caribbean when jerking chicken and other meats. It’s not sold here in the US but I used to sometimes order from a place that has the rights to import the wood. Adding a little pimento wood chips enhances the flavor of the chicken tremendously. Did some jerk pork belly a few times as well, and it was probably one of the best things I ever smoked.

been a few years since i made my own marinade. def need to do it again. 2 half chickens fit perfect on my weber

DUDE!!! Excellent recipe thank you. I will be using this to make me some.

Bro that looks incredible, the color you get from that direct yet distant heat is bananas

Love this channel. Keep up these great episodes man

Jamaican born and raised here, that looked amazing! Will try your marinade and method. Great work!!

That table pound told me that was a GREAT bite! looks amazing!

Yesssss been waiting for this episode for way too long!! Thanks Chud

Beef and pork are great, but chicken really is the eat every way and every day king.

I like jerk chicken, but jerk pork is even better. Take a boneless pork butt, butterfly it, marinate it for a few days, smoke it and then cube it up at the end. Would be an awesome vid to do with made from scratch Jamaican festival and rice and peas as sides. I've been to Jamaica a ton of times and love their food. Even at the good jerk places locals prefer the jerk pork. I've done the recipe several times, lmk if you want it as a place to start.

Just made this, and I think it was the best thing I've made on my barrel smoker since I got it a few months ago. The flavour was a great combination of the wood smoke and the charcoal fumes. Everyone loved it. The marinade made the chicken so juicy and flavoursome.

I have always wanted to try this. Thanks!

Looks absolutely delicious

Made this today. It was fantastic.

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Being on smoke for an hour+ really attenuates the heat from the habaneros. I ruined a couple pounds of shrimp using extra marinade to cook them. The pork I cooked for a long time was glorious. The ten minute shrimp cook was inedible due to the uncooked peppers. I thought I was gonna die. The recipe I use has some white vinegar in there too. Much love to the Chud Crew. I will come the couple miles down to the shop and go on a shopping spree in the next week or so. I need rubs, sausage spice packs, and some logo-wear.

You did it right. I'm from Portland Jamaican and that's the way we cook. Nice and slow.

That jerk bird looks mighty fire brad, love your videos man keep ‘em coming brother

I haven’t even watched the clip yet but I’m grateful for it. I love Jerk Chicken but I used to use “The Shizzle” jerk marinade and it’s tripled in price since Covid. This is on the menu for Friday night grub, thanks!

I've been waiting for this one!

As a jamaican chef I applaud you perfectly perfectly jerked chicken

Deliciousness on the grill! That yardbird looks fantastic! Love me some jerk chicken!

Oh my soul, I made this today and it was magnificent!

Brad, Wow! Hard to believe but that's exactly what I'm grilling up today! I'm using Walkerswood Traditional Jamaican Jerk made in St Ann.

Great job my Bredda!!! Well done especially the butter in the basting. Some of us on the go like it slightly less juicy but that’s the thing about individualism.

Wow. Those birds look phenomenal. I don't have a Chud Box (yet), but I can do these on my water smoker without the water pan. Plenty of distance from the coals. Now, if I can only find some pimento wood...

@TheKitchenNinja

My workaround for not having pimento wood is to soak a bunch of whole allspice and throw it into the coals the same way you'd use wood chips. It's not perfect, but it gets you close

Looks amazing

Dang it man. I love the videos. Always challenging me to step outside my culinary comfort zone.

Ya man a Jamaica trip needed !!! We would love to have you on the island!!!

It was nice to see boot snake season is back!

My favorite BBQ guy....shout out to TX

Bradley, thanks for the recipe, always wanted to try this. at home. There is a place here in Minnesota run by a guy from Jamaica, has the best Jerk Chicken in the state, way up in Gilbert, MN. The Whistling Bird !

Jerk is a great style of cooking. I usually do leg quarters. I often let my marinate for 2 days instead of just overnight. I've definitely started smoking mine recently. I wish I could get my hands on some pimento wood. I will let mine get up to 185 sometimes, and it's still juicy. I like butter sauce, sometimes I will save a little bit of marinade to the side to mix in with my basic BBQ sauce.

That looked amazing! I haven’t had jerk chicken in a long time. Now I think I’ll be making it myself.

Nice moves looks great! My only suggestion would be to add some white vinegar to the marinade. I have tried a lot of different jerk recipes and for me that acid is a needed ingredient

im gonna make this later in the week. thanks Brad

the wood smoke is traditional - in jamaica they use pimento wood (the wood from the allspice tree). nice vid brad!

I freaking love jerk chicken. From what I can gather from making it at home you need a jerk marinade AND a jerk rub that you will add as well to get really good flavor.

Dude i really want a mini chudbox so bad. It love how versatile it is with open fire cooking and direct heat pit cooking. So cool. One of those and a good quality offset and a weber kettle and i’ll be set. Still rocking a 5 year old weber kettle and i cook on it regularly 🔥

Was just in Turks and Caicos last week and had some jerk chicken. It’s been on my mind since. So good. Definitely trying this.

When we think of "Jerk" in the USA we're normally referring to the seasoning, but in Jamaica they are referring to the entire process of cooking the protein. Similarly to how we refer to it as grilling chicken, they reference Jerking chicken. I've heard that "to Jerk" literally means "to Poke" holes with a long grill fork while flipping the meat over on the fire. Whatever, you call it, it sure is tasty!

Great episode Mr Bradley Chud Robinson

I went down the jerk chicken rabbit hole about a year ago. This recipe is pretty spot on. Only thing I do different now a days is add a little beer and dark soy sauce. Take some jerk marinade and mix it with some bbq sauce(Stubbs sticky sweet) and ketchup, use that half way through the cook. Takes it to the next level..

Perfect timing, having a party this weekend and wanted to do jerk!

Jerk chicken sauce would be awesome too

I've been to Jamaica 3 times over the years, ate plenty of jerk chicken. It was never very spicy. The secret was the charcoal they used, that's what infused the flavor into the meat. It never looked like it had any sauce on it, just full of flavor. A guy would set up his grill, like a small cheap one on the side of the road, at a traffic circle and sell his chicken late at night. Best chicken I ever had, I'd eat a half of one every night after partying, around 1:00 am.

Normally not a fan of KZreadrs bringing the fam into the vid. Usually they aren't nearly as interesting as their loved one thinks they are. Brooke is a great addition when she adds some "customer feedback" to the proceedings.

Waiting for that Bradley + Sonny collab! Pretty sure he's in Austin too

Would love to see your take on Peruvian chicken. Keep up the great content!

this looks delicious

traditionally cooked using pimento wood which is hard to find. for that authentic flavour add allspice berries to the fire.

You can order pimento wood online I've seen. Never done so I don't know how authentic it is.. but probably worth trying at least once.

That looks great

I like the halloween reference in your knife roll! And really enjoying your videos. Just discovered your channel a couple weeks ago...great recipes, too!

You out did yourself on this one Bradley.

Reggae spice company has some great jerk style instant marinades, so good

Brad, you should grow some pimento trees for the smoke (that's the tree from whence allspice berries come). Also, I'll buy some from you whenever you do get some pimento wood. Also, Scotch bonnets aren't that hard to grow either if you have a garden. The scotch bonnet is one of the most underrated and underused peppers IMHO.

“jerk butter basting sauce” sounds much better in my head than on some chicken😂😂

Pulled out his tools like Dexter Morgan 😂

I went to Jamaica in 2001 and was on the search for a way to make this marinade. I have been using the recipe in Steven Raichlen's book "the barbecue Bible" for years now. Your favorite profile is very similar. I bet these were amazing.

Great cook! My only small critique was I expecting some thyme in the marinade.

@GW-sc1rl

There is thyme in the marinade - 2:14

Looks great.

Something that surprised me in Jamaica was how mild jerk chicken is. The locals told me the "spice" (heat level) is added separately in the form of a hot sauce. Shout out to Scotchies in Montego Bay.

Chicken looked great. Add some Ginger and white vinegar to the marinade ... also try with Apple wood or other sweet woods ...

I was expecting the next video of your European trip!

This reminds me that I haven't made any Jerk Chicken in far to long. Time to rectify that asap.

So I have been researching jerk chicken for the past week, then boom, here you are giving me a new recipe. I think you should incorporate the jerk flavors into a pork or chicken sausage recipe, personally I think pork just because I prefer pork sausage. Either way Bradley you the man and thanks for another great video!

When marinading, I like to jaccard the meat. Lets the flavors sink deep. Also, by chance I had a dozen Scotch Bonnet peppers left over from making some making blueberry bonnet sausage. Got them from Esty. Started making this last night.

Nevermade jerked chicken, but I think I would love it cause I love spicy.

Only thing you used but not listed was spice grinder, what is it, looks fantastic

You sir are a freakingggggg legend (in your boot!)

Plant an allspice tree in your yard (if it will grow in Texas) then you can also harvest the wood and leaves for smoking. When I did jerk chicken I just soaked and threw some whole spice berries on the coals.

I will be making this soon. Haven't had good jerk chicken in a couple years. Got all spice on deck.

Lol 🤣 😂 that's too funny you got me at This is a chicken 🐔

Awesome!

So good!!!!

Habaneros are good in a pinch but you really need the scotch bonnet peppers for true jerk chicken. You did nail the ending though. Looks fantastic.

Watch every video Chud does. Love these videos. Can someone explain how he heats things up on that plate that isn’t attached to anything that he puts his sauce pan on? I always wonder!

YOU SHOULD DO A JERK PORK

If you make it to Jamaica check out scotches smoked on pimento wood. And nice pepper/hot sauce

I’ve seen Jamaicans puncture the chicken to really get that marinade in it. And they also use pimento wood that’s what makes it authentic

I've been to Jamaica many times. In fact I'm friends with Lloydie and Ms Paula from 3 Dives on the west end. Your marinade looks pretty good! Glad you tossed in a few more habaneros lol

Mouth watering

If I remember to plug it in first.... Been a long time since we've heard that ❤

If you go to Jamaica definitely go to Montego Bay and eat at Scotchies. The best jerk chicken!

Jerk chicken and Cornell style are the 2 best over coals cooked chicken

Yeah jerk chicken is the nuts, i miss living in a city with places that cook proper Jamaican food.

Last time I had jerk chicken was from Jerk Hut in Tampa. Amazing people, even better food!

Brad, you have to try jerked pork steaks. Or my fave, boneless country style ribs cooked on the chud box.

Walker's Wood is a great traditional jerk marinade fairly easy to get if you want a control to compare your recipe against.

Looks tasty

Love jerk chicken! Would you use the same marinade on a pork tenderloin, tenderloin or butt

When you said ooo smells good you sounded like duff man from the Simpson's

Hi Brad! Would you mind linking your kitchen shears? I've never seen such a big pair go so effortlessly through the bone! I MUST have a pair of those!
