If you’re looking for bold flavor, this chicken dish delivers in a big way. In Jamaica, where jerked meats originated, there are both wet marinades and dry rubs. This recipe uses a homemade wet jerk seasoning marinade that gives the chicken bold flavor. Much like homemade curries, homemade jerk seasoning can vary from cook to cook. To tame the heat we’ve substituted a jalapeño pepper for the traditional, extremely hot scotch bonnet chile pepper. And we’ve paired the chicken with a cooling mango salsa. You can make the salsa up to a day ahead and keep it, covered, in the refrigerator.
