While I’m sure that jerk (dry-rubbed meat) is not American, there is certainly a lot of it available throughout the southern states and elsewhere too—it is so popular.I am also pretty sure you will love it, too. I really love it with the Brown Rice Salad and it is kind of perfect summer dining for me. You don't have to try too hard to have leftovers which is always nice and it can feed an entire neighborhood if you upscale. Super simple.
This recipe appears in Tenina's America, one of my favourite books and always on sale in my store. Get over there and get your copy while stocks last. They are going fast.
By the way, I am sure I don't need to tell you this, but....for gluten-free Jerk Chicken use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce. It is that easy!
