Jerk chicken seasoning

You can rub chicken breasts or thighs with a low-salt jerk seasoning rub. Use 1-2 teaspoons seasoning rub per chicken breast. Leave the chicken to marinate in the rub for several hours in the fridge, and then grill or bake the chicken until cooked all the way through.

This recipe makes enough rub for 4 chicken breasts.

  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic puree 
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

    1.     Mix all the ingredients together.
