    Jerk is a style of cooking native to Jamaica in which meats (traditionally pork and goat, but now including chicken, fish, beef, sausage and even tofu) are dry-rubbed with a fiery spice mixture called Jamaican jerk spice. Jerk seasoning principally relies upon two items: allspice (Jamaican pimento) and Scotch bonnet peppers (among the hottest peppers on the Scoville scale). Other ingredients include cloves, cinnamon, scallions, nutmeg, thyme, garlic, which are mixed together to form a marinade which is rubbed onto pork, chicken, or fish.

    Jamaican Spice Rub (makes about 1 cup)

    1/4 cup packed brown sugar

    3 TBSP kosher salt

    3 TBSP ground coriander

    2 TBSP ground ginger

    2 TBSP garlic powder

    1 TBSP ground allspice

    1 TBSP ground black pepper

    2 tsp cayenne pepper

    2 tsp ground nutmeg

    1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

    Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.

    Grilled Chicken:

    Brine and season the chicken breasts -- For each pound of chicken, dissolve 1/4 cup kosher salt (or 2 tsp table salt) and 2 TBSP sugar in 1 quart cold tap water. Submerge chicken and refrigerate 45 minutes. Remove chicken from brine, rinse under running water, and dry thoroughly. Rub all sides of each breast evenly with 1 TBSP spice rub. Refrigerate chicken, covered with plastic wrap, for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours. Remove and grill until meat is no longer pink, or internal temperature is 160 degrees.

    AMAZING!
