Best Jamaican Jerk dry rub I've used. Beats store bought rubs and sauces hands-down. I used it as a dry rub on Chilean Sea Bass and the results were nothing short of incredible. For the Sea Bass I reduced the salt content - it seemed to high for seafood. However the recommended amount of salt works fine for meats. This dry rub also makes a delicious addition to standard BBQ sauces.
Converted down to 25 servings for a smaller amount. Roasted a chicken with it and everyone loved this rub. My MIL asked for recipe and gave her some of what was left over and we are both look'n forward to get'n our rub on! Thanks for the post!
The aroma of this was wonderful both when I mixed it and then when I grilled the meat. I scaled it way back for just a single use but will make more and store it in a jar to keep on hand. I had some boneless pork in the freezer so made the dry rub into a paste using canola oil and let the pork thaw and marinate overnight in the refrigerator. The meat was flavorful and tender.
This was way too hot for me and I love spicy food. Next time I will cut the cayenne in half.
We scaled back the recipe the first time because it was sooo much. It came out absolutely awesome. We had a group of friends over and make dinner with this and they went nutty. So now we have made the full version and use it on everything. Grilled Tilapia, Jerk Chicken...even Jamaican Fried Jerk Chicken...so good. Thanks alot for this one!
I used this seasoning mix on boneless skinless chicken breasts that I sauteed in a mix of olive oil and butter about 4 minutes on each side. I then served it with a mango salsa. The spice had just enough kick in it to make one say "hmm what's in this?" It was a big hit!
This rub has decent flavor but it is not Jamaican Jerk. I've worked alongside a true Jamaican who would cook for us all the time and this rub does not taste like Jerk anything.
I've made a lot of different rubs for ribs, chicken, beef, pork chops but this might be the last one I ever make. It is that good! After I made it, I was a little worried with how it smelled and tasted, but after I grilled my chicken breasts, I was amazed at the flavor & aroma. I got my breasts moist with olive oil, put the rub on both sides and let it soak in for about an hour or so. Then grilled them up & yum! Even put a little rub on some yukon gold potatoes that I cut up along with some whole garlic cloves some diced fresh ginger & sweet onions with a little olive oil all wrapped up in foil on the grill. Made for a very tasty, easy & relatively quick dinner. Thanks for the recipe!
Wow this is awesome stuff. Used it to make a barbecue pork in a crock pot it was so delicious.
