USimplySeason Jamaican Jerk Seasoning, 4.8 oz - Salt-Free Caribbean Spice Blend for Grilling, Marinades, Chicken, Seafood & Vegetables - Vegan, Non-GMO, Bold Fiery Savory Flavor

Some of the best spicy chicken seasoning and pork seasoning comes straight out of Jamaican cuisine, and we've captured culinary lightning in a bottle with our delicious Jerk seasoning. This delicious spice blend gets its name not from mean bullies, but from the traditional preparation of charqui, a Spanish word for dried, spiced meat that would later become "jerky" in the English language. The meat would be poked with a sharp skewer - "jerked" - and spices would be rubbed into those cavities before the meat was cooked, ensuring every delicious bite was filled with flavor.

Here is a fun and easy recipe to get you started using this wonderful spice blend:
