simple jerk chicken

So, Mr. Bejelly has this thing with too much spice.  Even my beloved Indian Food walks the line of tolerable for him so I never know if any recipe with more than two spices is going to fly.

He tore this Simple Jerk Chicken up (almost as quickly as he had with my keto sweet and sour chicken recipe).

Seriously, I went from wondering what we were going to do with leftovers to hoping I would get enough to eat.

It’s made with 7 spices like cinnamon, cumin, cloves, and more. I remember the first time I had jerk chicken. It was at my grandma’s house.

All week she had been cooking up southern recipes I had never tried before like keto gumbo and fried squirrel. Yes, squirrel. I didn’t eat it and I’m still traumatized by seeing it in the sink but I digress.

My favorite dish I tried that week was jerk chicken and it left its mark on me so I had to make up my own version.
