Jerk Chicken
Chicken marinated in fiery scotch bonnet and allspice paste, slow-smoked over pimento wood.
Why It Works
Allspice berries contain eugenol (also in cloves) which is fat-soluble, penetrating deep into meat during marination; pimento wood smoke adds a unique aromatic dimension impossible to replicate with other woods.
