Ryan's Jamaican Jerk Chicken & Cumin Rice

Title: Serves 1

Authentic Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Made by Ryan with Love

Ryan’s Jamaican Jerk Chicken is the real deal;  bold, smoky, fiery, and full of flavour. Tender chicken thighs are marinated in a traditional jerk paste of scotch bonnet peppers, fresh thyme, ginger, garlic, and warming spices like allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon. The chicken is then smoked slowly to absorb all those deep, earthy flavours before being finished on the barbecue for that unmistakable charred crust and juicy inside.

It’s a dish Ryan has perfected over nearly two decades since first tasting jerk chicken in Toronto’s Caribbean community. Every batch pays homage to the street stalls of Kingston, where jerk chicken is more than food,  it’s culture. Served with fragrant cumin and turmeric basmati rice cooked in chicken stock, the meal delivers a complete Caribbean experience that balances fire with comfort.

FAQ's

This dish is a genuine 🌶🌶🌶 level thanks to scotch bonnet peppers – one of the hottest and most flavourful chillies in the Caribbean. The heat is noticeable and builds, but it’s balanced by the sweet smoke and aromatic spices. The cumin turmeric rice is there to cool and balance each bite. If you’re sensitive to spice, this might be intense – but for heat seekers, it’s exactly as it should be.

In Jamaica, rice is the natural partner to jerk chicken because it balances the fire. The cumin and turmeric in Ryan’s rice add earthiness and warmth, while the fluffy grains provide relief from the scotch bonnet heat. Together, they create the perfect rhythm of spice and comfort in every mouthful.

The word “jerk” refers both to the unique seasoning blend and the traditional cooking method used in Jamaica. The marinade always includes scotch bonnet peppers and allspice (pimento), combined with fresh herbs and warming spices. Traditionally, meat is slow-cooked over pimento wood, giving it a smoky depth and signature flavour. Jerk isn’t just about heat – it’s about layers of flavour, from fiery to sweet to aromatic, all working together. Ryan’s recipe honours these traditions while adapting the technique for home delivery, so you can enjoy authentic jerk flavour without the smokehouse.

    A friend brought this on a recent camping trip. Having a Trini background have to say this dish takes me back home! Love the flavour of the chicken.

    It has a slight kick to it, but that is what authentic Jerk is meant to be like. Tasty cumin rice as well. Slight variation from the traditional rice and beans, but really enjoyed it.
