| Surprise your guests with the intoxicating exotic flavors found in this Jamaican standard. Joanna made this Jerk Chicken for about 3,000 people at Carnival in Santa Cruz. This version is quite spicy, as habaneros are intensely hot. You may use less or substitute jalapeño to kick it down a notch. ~Mark |
