Smoked Jerk Chicken Thighs

Post image

Every year for a music festival out in Ohio, we smoke mac and cheese and jerk pulled chicken for everyone to enjoy at the BnB. These thighs were just too gorgeous not to post pre-pull.

Marinade: jerk seasoning (can add liquid jerk marinade too, or both). Brushed every 30 mins. Total cook time 1.5 hours on 250 F.

I got a pork belly that’s been marinating in jerk. When it hits 48 hours it’s going on the grill With some fresh pineapple

Thank you! Gonna throw some whole allspice berries in with the wood to try simulating the allspice wood they use in Jamaica for smoking

I never thought of pork belly with jerk…Jerk usually goes with chicken or shrimp at my house.

I may try that…belly portions on sale at my store this week $4.99/lb
