Jerk Chicken Bake

baked Jerk Chicken on a baking tray

Jerk Chicken Bake is an easy to make chicken dish. Here I have baked it, thus saving time to do other stuff. It is ideal for a weeknight dinner, for when you are in a rush. In this recipe I have used green chilies instead of scotch bonnet, as that is the only chili I had at hand. I have omitted vinegar to substitute with lemon juice.

The dish originates from Jamaica. It is a blend of African cooking technique with native Jamaican spices. There are two theories for the name:

  • Originally Spanish word "Charqui", used to describe dried meat, was used. Over time this term evolved from "Charqui" to "Jerky" to "Jerk".
  • Another theory is that, Jerk is a technique where you poke holes into the meat, so that the marinate penetrates into the meat.

    i've loved Jerk ever since I first tried it in Jamaica. I always thought you needed a grill to make it, so its great to see that I can make it in the oven. Great recipe!
