Lately it seems all the cooking shows have been showing similar recipes. A couple of days ago Sunny Anderson from Cooking for Real was making Caribbean Jerk Chicken. It looked great. I haven't had Jerk chicken in years.
I made another trip to the grocery store this week for the ingredients I didn't have. Yes, that does happen once, twice maybe even three times a week especially if I didn't make a menu for that week.
I found a recipe that uses a Jerk rub instead of a sauce. I love putting all the herbs together for rubs. The smells are wonderful.
I made the Jerk Chicken with the Mango salsa and some rice.
This recipe came from Tasty Kitchen.
