The heat of dried habanero chiles combines with the warmth of cinnamon and ginger and a touch of brown sugar sweetness in our Jamaican Jerk blend. The blend is medium-hot on its own, but gets extra spicy in this marinade with the addition of extra chiles. It's delicious on grilled chicken, but it also works wonders on roasted potatoes and other veggies.
