What Is Jerk Chicken?
According to Wikipedia, The term jerk spice (also commonly known as Jamaican jerk spice) refers to a spice rub. The word jerk refers variously to the spice rub, as well as a wet marinade and mop sauce made from it. Also to the particular cooking technique. Jerk cooking has developed a global following, most notably in American, Canadian and Western European cosmopolitan urban cultures.
Meanwhile, the cooking technique of jerking, as well as the results it produces, has evolved over time from using pit fires to grilling over coals in old oil barrel halves. Around the 1960s, Caribbean entrepreneurs seeking an easier, more portable method of jerking cut oil barrels lengthwise, added holes for ventilation and hinged lids to capture the smoke. These barrels are fired with charcoal; other jerking methods include wood-burning ovens.
