jerk seasoning
Caribbean dry rub
Jerk seasoning is a Jamaican spice blend used to flavor meat, especially chicken and pork.
The mixture typically includes allspice, scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, garlic, and ginger, producing a hot, aromatic, slightly sweet flavor.
Meat may be rubbed with the dry blend or marinated in a wet version before grilling or smoking: We made jerk chicken for the cookout.
