Jerk Chicken

I am sure most of you would say "jerk chicken" when asked if you know any Jamaican food. Indeed, jerk is a method of cooking that is original to Jamaica, and you can jerk just about everything. Other than chicken, you can jerk pork, beef, fish, tofu, vegetable... anything. Basically, jerk sauce is rubbed on the food and then, the food gets barbecued.
Recipes for jerk chicken are easily available on the Internet, for example...

I had Jerk Chicken Linguine served at the Courtleigh Hotel (http://www.courtleigh.com/) today. This is my most favorite pasta dish in Kingston. It is made with jerk chicken and mushrooms in creamy sauce. Delicious. 780JMD (about US$11) before tax and service charges. The Courtleigh is a nice cozy hotel, with the only drawback being its swimming pool that is too small, but apart from staying at the hotel, eating there is also a pleasant experience, as the food is not only good but reasonably priced.
