In honour of Black History Month, we’re thrilled to be sharing our Jerk Chicken recipe! This iconic dish with Jamaican roots has been a star on our menu for over a decade! We love celebrating the
global diversity of our city, so we’re excited to be highlighting food from our vibrant Caribbean community.
Between the late 1950’s into the early 1980’s, Toronto welcomed tens of thousands of Caribbean immigrants, who brought with them a wealth of rich culture, including amazing food, music & traditions. The Caribbean islands are quite the melting pot of people, and that is reflected in the numerous spices found in recipes like Jerk Chicken. There’s a lot of them, but it’s worth the effort!
Famously aromatic, our version is flavourful without the spicy heat that is often associated with this dish, making way for an easy introduction to young palates. Plus it’s a fantastic recipe for preparing in big batches. You’ll have easy, tasty meals ready for the busy days ahead. Plus, it’s super fun to make your own spice blend — you’ll feel like you just levelled up your cooking game!
